Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has again stated creating a technical director's role is "unnecessary".

Scholes has questioned the need for the planned restructuring at the club this summer.

He told BBC Radio Five Live: "It seems like a waste of time to be honest with you. I don't understand why clubs need a director of football.

"If you've got a manager, he's the one who buys the players.

"He's got a chief scout, obviously, who recommends players and he watches them and then buys them.

"A director of football role, for me, isn't needed. It's just creating jobs around clubs that aren't necessary."
