Man United legend not convinced by £36m man and urges striker signing

Scholes intimated that Martial – a £36m deadline-day signing from AS Monaco in September – is not ready to be United’s leading man, but Ranieri, who signed him for the French club in 2013, feels that he will blossom. He doesn’t look bothered if he misses a chance.

The draw left United second in Group B with a tricky final game away to leaders Wolfsburg. He doesn’t look bothered if he misses a chance.

“If you look at teams across Europe, like Bayern Munich and Barcelona you will realise that there are players up front who can make the difference”.

“We keep saying defensively they’re sound and I think they are, but their forward play just wasn’t good enough tonight”. The England global has been in woeful goalscoring form of late and Van Gaal is therefore rotating his options to get the best out of what is at his disposal.

Scholes also repeated his boring jibe.

It has now been six games since the 19-year-old has gotten his name on the score-sheet, and United legend Scholes claims he is still not convinced by the youngster and that the club need to spend in the January transfer market on a new attacker.

“He is 19 years old”. Martial went ahead to score an equaliser, though it was not enough to save him the lashing. “I think he can arrive”. As a centre forward, all you live for is scoring goals, all you want to do is score goals. It is the story of the season, the majority of the time they’ve played like that and managed to nick a goal, a 1-0 here and a 1-0 there. And yet they stand just one point off the top spot and a win on Wednesday at Old Trafford against PSV Eindhoven will see them qualify for the knockout rounds in the Champions League. “They’re set-up to be a defensive team”, Owen explained. “It’s very very one-dimensional”.
