Manchester United legend Paul Scholes says he supports Louis van Gaal as manager.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "I still believe that Van Gaal is the right man for the job. I don't think he will change his mind about the way he wants the team to play. He is a stubborn man and that is no bad thing in football. But I am afraid to say that if he wants to play this Barcelona style then the club will have to go back into the transfer market this summer to get the players they need to do it.

"It seems crazy to say that when you look at the money that United have spent, and it will be more difficult to do so if they are not in the Champions League. It has been another difficult season for the club, but nothing they have been through in the last seven months will compare with the challenge of these last 10 games, and what is at stake."
