Paul Scholes is better placed than most to assess the suitability of Manchester United's central midfielders – and he has given a contrasting verdict on the club's three main options.
Scott McTominay started Wednesday night's FA Cup victory over West Ham but was withdrawn at half-time for first-choice starter Casemiro, who once again played a key role in Erik ten Hag's side securing the victory.
At the start of the campaign, Scholes gave a damning verdict of McTominay and midfield partner Fred – who had established themselves as the club's long-term midfield options. The summer arrival of Casemiro, alongside Christian Eriksen, helped switch things up.
