Manchester United legend slams Rúben Amorim: It's a crime

After achieving the first official victory this season against Burnley, Ruben Amorim returned to setbacks, after losing 3-0 to Manchester City last Sunday, September 14th. Paul Scholes, the legendary Manchester United midfielder, paid close attention to the derby and criticized the red devils' signings, not forgetting to send a message to the Portuguese coach.

"I don't think there's quality. Regardless of the players Ruben Amorim chooses for the midfield, any combination he tries seems not to work . That's a big problem. I thought the absolute priority was a midfielder with legs who could control the game", Paul Scholes began by saying in an interview with the BBC .

Next, the former Manchester United player criticized the strong investment in forwards this market, stating that some areas were left unreinforced: "Did they really need to reach the game with Grimsby to realize that Onana is not good enough? If Manchester United wasn't interested in Donnarumma when he became available, it's a crime . They bought forwards. That issue needed to be resolved, but three?".

Regarding Ruben Amorim, Paul Scholes believes changes need to be made: "He can't continue playing like this, he simply can't. At some point, he has to think: 'I have to change something because what I'm doing now isn't working and I'm not getting results' . The proof is there".

Finally, the former English international admitted to liking the Portuguese coach, countering that at the moment he is not being good enough: "I like Amorim, what he says, he seems like a nice man. But unfortunately, the results show the reality. At the moment, it's not good enough. If the results don't improve, performance doesn't matter much. He has to win some games, or else the pressure on him will be enormous".
