Paul Scholes has criticised Manchester United's recent transfer strategy but praised Erik ten Hag for his pragmatic approach at the club.
United have spent a huge amount of money in recent years and there was a great deal of optimism going into last season following the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane. However, Scholes has questioned just how good that 2021 window was and called for somebody to take responsibility for the club's transfer activity.
"Was it really?" he said on The Overlap when former teammate Gary Neville said how good last summer looked on paper. "You've got a young player from Germany you've spent a lot of money on, who did great in Germany but he was unproven in the best league.
