Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has questioned the club's transfer policy.

Defence appears to be a key area for Manchester United to improve and the club have been linked to a number of players.

And Scholes agrees, though he would also like to see an attacking player brought in.

“I think it's a confusing club and a confusing squad of players at the minute," Scholes told Premier League Productions.

“I always think at Man Utd and at big clubs, you're only as good as your centre forwards are and your attacking players. I'm not sure whether these attacking players are good enough.

“We talk about potential with [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford, but you're getting to a point now where it's not potential, you have to start producing week in week out.

“[Romelu] Lukaku I'm not sure if he's a top class centre forward that's going to score you 30 goals to win you a league. There's confusion with the forwards.

“When I played we had four centre forwards, who were brilliant, and they were centre forwards.

“You look now and you've got Lukaku, who's definitely a centre forward, but then you've got Martial, Rashford, [Alexis] Sanchez. Are they centre forwards? Are they wide players?

“There's confusion all over the pitch. A lack of identity.

“If [Victor] Lindelof can get a tough and aggressive defender next to him, I think they'll be okay.

“They definitely need a right back. Ashley Young has done well, converted from a winger. He's struggled in the last few weeks but mainly he's been alright over the last few years."
