Scholes on Man United transfers

The legendary midfielder feels the club needs to add a reliable and proven centre-forward to help with

“When I think about Manchester United, I think about brilliant centre-forwards,” Scholes said via Football365.
“I think they’ve had one young one last year in Rasmus Hojlund who they have had to rely on and it was a little bit unfair. He’s a young player, still learning the game.
“They’ve bought another young one [Zirkzee]… I would like to see an experienced centre-forward come and help with that and virtually guarantee goals."

Rasmus Hojlund was Man United's top scorer last season, with 16 goals. Three other players also hit double digits in goals.
