Paul Scholes names four Manchester United players Ruben Amorim must replace Paul Scholes has named four players Ruben Amorim must replace at Manchester United and says his former club ‘won’t win the Premier League’ with a centre-back pairing of Matthijs de Ligt and Leny Yoro.
Scholes also cannot see a centre-back partnership of De Ligt and Yoro – or alternative option Lisandro Martinez – ever taking Manchester United to a Premier League title.
The Red Devils are just 13th in the Premier League table – 14 points outside the Champions League places – and were comfortably beaten by Crystal Palace in their last league game.
Following a fortuitous FA Cup victory over Leicester City last time out, Manchester United will look for more success this weekend when they travel to north London to face struggling Tottenham.
Rather than enjoying a new manager bounce under Amorim, United’s performances and results have got even worse since the Portuguese boss replaced Erik ten Hag in November.
