Manchester United icon Paul Scholes has unleashed a devastating critique of his former club's transfer policy, declaring that the Red Devils have effectively "wasted a billion pounds" on players who've failed to deliver at Old Trafford.
The Billion Pound Question
In a frank assessment that will send shockwaves through the Manchester United hierarchy, Scholes didn't hold back when evaluating the club's recruitment strategy over recent years. "When you look at the money they've spent, you'd think they'd be challenging for the title," the former England midfielder stated. "Instead, they're miles behind their rivals."
New Signings Under Scrutiny
Scholes expressed particular concern about recent acquisitions, suggesting that United's transfer committee has consistently failed to identify the right talent. "They keep bringing in players who either don't fit the system or aren't of the required standard," he explained. "It's become a recurring pattern that's costing the club dearly."
A Glaring Lack of Strategy
The treble-winning midfielder highlighted what he sees as a fundamental flaw in United's approach. "There's no clear identity in their transfers," Scholes observed. "They jump from one type of player to another without any coherent plan. Compare that to how their rivals operate, and you see why United are struggling."
The Road to Recovery
Despite his harsh criticism, Scholes remains hopeful that United can turn things around. "They need to learn from their mistakes and adopt a more strategic approach," he advised. "Getting the right people making football decisions is crucial. Until that happens, they'll continue to lag behind."
The legendary midfielder's comments come at a time when pressure is mounting on United's hierarchy to deliver results, with fans growing increasingly frustrated by the team's inconsistent performances and questionable transfer business.
