Hupu News on October 15 Recently, Scholes talked about his views on Manchester United’s signing operations when he was a guest on a podcast.

Scholes said: "Look at Hoylen, he is only 22 years old now and was 20 when he joined Manchester United. At that time, he was the only center forward of Manchester United. All the pressure was on him and all the expectations were on his shoulders. He simply couldn't bear it. This kind of young player should have grown up step by step in the team and had the opportunity to rotate out and adjust his condition. It is reasonable for a team to be equipped with three or four centers."

"As a result, this summer What did Manchester United do? They let go of Hoylen and bought another center. The two have very similar styles, and the situation is exactly the same! Sheshko is only 22 years old. He performed well at the beginning and seems to be improving, but what common sense is there in this operation? "

"This is like when Solskjaer joined at the age of 22 and we had no other center in the team, so we could only let him play every week. That would only ruin him!"
