Scholes remains unconvinced by Man Utd transfer policy

Manchester United great Paul Scholes remains unconvinced by the club's transfer work.

He says no one takes "responsibility" and that someone above boss Erik ten Hag may be pulling the strings.

Three deals in particular - Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Casemiro - were questioned by Scholes. But only Brazil star Casemiro was signed by Ten Hag.

Scholes said: "Sancho was a young player who Manchester United spent a lot of money on, who was unproven in the league.

"And why would a club like Real Madrid let Varane go? If you looked at him last season, he didn't look right. I didn't think it was a great transfer window.

“Nobody at the club is taking responsibility for it. This year, Casemiro was done over two days.

"I wonder if it was the manager's signing. A lot of money, long contract. I think they need to put someone in charge of recruitment. Eventually, the manager will get blamed for it."
