Manchester United's season has been a massive disappointment both under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and under Ralf Rangnick, and while the German boss still has some credit due to his interim label, some of the team's former players have not held back in their criticism against the tactician.
Speaking in his pundit role at BT Sport, forrmer Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes shared his views on the team's draw against Southampton, and while he admitted he is fond of Rangnick's style of play, he believes that the team's decision to hire him was not right due to his lack of recent coaching experience.
"This is Manchester United, you need to have the best of the best around. You can't go about things without a plan and bring a sporting director in who has only coached in two of the past ten years. Don't get me wrong, I like him, but it seems that he lacks the experience of having coached in the past five or six years. Manchester United is filled with individual efforts and no team work, and that was the difference against Southampton today," Scholes stated.
The former English international went on with his criticism and urged the team's hierarchy to find a suitable replacement for the German boss if they want to win more titles next season.
"We had seen Ole's sacking coming a mile away, we all knew it was going to happen, but then we were left wondering what was the plan. There had to be one, and there must be a top-caliber coach to try and turn things around for this club," Scholes added.
The Red Devils are currently fifth in the competition, level on points with West Ham but only one point above Arsenal, who had their game against Chelsea postponed this weekend. Needless to say, the team should really step things up if they want to end the season among the top four without any complications, but under a "rusty" manager, that feat seems easier said than done.
