Paul Scholes praised Lisandro Martinez after Man Utd beat Arsenal
This coming week will mark the beginning of a very busy calendar for Manchester United in the month of October, and manager Erik ten Hag will need to draw upon the depth of his roster more than ever before in what could be the month that defines his season.
But club icon Paul Scholes has taken aim at United's transfer policy and recruitment approach, suggesting that Ten Hag will "get the responsibility" for failed purchases if they occur. Scholes's comments were made in an interview with ESPN. In other news, the head of Bologna has refuted reports that the Red Devils blocked Marko Arnautovic's departure, while Paul Pogba is credited with persuading one of his teammates to leave the club at the beginning of the year.
Scholes criticizes the poor transfer window performance.
Scholes has expressed his dissatisfaction with the way that Manchester United recruits players by stating that the Red Devils had a poor transfer window and that Ten Hag will ultimately be blamed for it.
A club-record sum of money was spent by the Red Devils during the summer transfer window. New manager Ten Hag brought in six new players, including Antony, Casemiro, Martin Dubravka, Christian Eriksen, Tyrell Malacia, and Lisandro Martinez. The transfer window closed on August 31. But despite the fact that Manchester United is finally exuding a positive vibe for the first time in quite some time, club legend Paul Scholes isn't entirely sold on the Red Devils' project. He has criticized the club's business decisions during the previous two summer transfer windows.
Scholes blames ten Hag for Man Utd's 'poor' transfer recruiting.
The head of Bologna gives his opinion on the Arnautovic deal.
Marco Di Vaio, the director of football for Bologna, has asserted that Marko Arnautovic was the one who called off his transfer to Manchester United, and not the other way around. It is understood that United had a bid for Arnautovic that was somewhere in the neighborhood of £8 million turned down before the pursuit of him was abandoned. Following the failure of the plan, sources from the United side said that they had completed a U-turn as a result of the vocal opposition from supporters. Arnautovic has been put in the position of having to deny claims of racism not once, but twice, the most recent time being at Euro 2020.
Because of this, a number of United fans sent emails to the club in which they expressed their disagreement with the player joining the team. It was thought that was what prompted Old Trafford executives to change their plans, but Di Vaio has suggested that that narrative is not accurate.
Pogba was successful in persuading the midfielder to depart. Man Utd
According to his former agent, Donny van de Beek wanted to leave United because Pogba was allegedly receiving preferential treatment at Old Trafford. This led van de Beek to believe that he would be better off playing for another team.
Since then, Pogba has terminated his contract with United and has instead agreed to play for Juventus as a free agent. However, as the Frenchman's time with the Red Devils came to an end, he learned that he had moved ahead of Van de Beek in the pecking order. This came as a surprise to the Frenchman. This happened despite the fact that some people thought that his other teammate was more deserving of a spot in the starting XI than he was.
The circumstances allegedly became intolerable for the Netherlands international midfielder Van de Beek after Paul Pogba was selected to play ahead of him despite allegedly turning up late for training one week, according to Guido Albers, who was formerly Van de Beek's agent. Albers claims that the circumstances became intolerable for Van de Beek after Paul Pogba was selected to play ahead of him. As a direct consequence of this, the player came to the conclusion that it would be in his best interest to part ways with the club.
