According to Paul Scholes, Manchester United has to sign at least five players “with a little quality” or have to face the possibility of relegation from the Premier League next season.
United is currently 13th in the table, but since the new boss Ruben Amorim leaves little impression and the squad full of players full of players, who are apparently not good enough for the strain of England’s top flight, Scholes believes that summer overhaul is required .
The Red Devils spent greatly last summer, but only Leny Yoro can be seen as a decent signing – and the jury stays on the road due to injury problems – with people like Joshua Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt, who fight to make the grade .

And Scholes is afraid that another repetition in 2025 could have catastrophic consequences.
United is missing a solid spine – Scholes
The former midfielder of United and England told the debate about the overlap fan: “There are some things that are worrying. There are a lot of things he has to do (Amorim), we all know that, especially in transfer windows, but I see no core of players.
“When you look at teams, take a look at the spine of a team. Liverpool: Great goalkeeper, Great Center half, striker, midfielder, whatever. I don’t think United has some of it in any position.
“I think a new goalkeeper is needed, possibly two centers halves, two midfielder in midfield and two strikers.
“Okay, I will choose a midfielder and a center, but with a little stature, a little quality and really a spine. If you have this spine correctly, you can add bit.
“This spine, this core, is so important. If you don’t do right this summer, this may sound ridiculous, but the shape since this manager came in, you could look at the descent. I tell you it was so bad. “
League is a concern for Amorim
United won only three of her last 11 league games, but prevailed on Friday evening in the fifth round of the FA Cup, thanks to Harry Maguires late header against Leicester City.
She combined the draw last night with Fulham in Old Trafford.
