Man Utd legend Scholes slams Villa squad

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has taken a swipe at Aston Villa's locker room.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "There is still a prestige to managing Aston Villa and for Tim Sherwood this is a great job.

"The question that would worry me in that position would be whether he has the players he needs in the long term.

"Villa's squad has enough quality to stay up. My problem with it is that I don't see too many leaders among those players. Rather, there seem to be a lot in the comfort zone, playing for a big club but not really making a difference. I imagine Tim has the kind of personality that will not tolerate anyone coasting along."
