After an illustrious playing career at Old Trafford, it's understandable that the Red Devils legend feels distressed to see his former club in such disarray, given the extent of his achievements.

Man United were eliminated from the Champions League last night after a 1-0 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid. It was the club's second consecutive elimination from the competition.

In the end, Diego Simeone's side was the superior team, despite the fact that Manchester United entered the second leg in a strong position following a 1-1 draw away from home in the first game.

New manager at Old Trafford should have the ability to pull the best out of this current crop of players, according to a post-match interview with Paul Scholes in which he made it clear what he wants.

The addition of a great coach, in my opinion, will allow them to contend for prizes once more. As reported by the Daily Mirror, "They've got a good roster with some great players, but they haven't had an elite coach for the last three or four years." Scholes explained this to BT Sport.

In order to motivate players, you need to have a manager that instills terror in them. Sir Alex Ferguson possessed this quality; has any manager since him? Honestly, I don't believe that to be the case. As a coach, it is a rare and valuable skill.

They'll get away with absolutely nothing under Pep [Guardiola], and they'll get away with absolutely nothing under Jurgen Klopp. For the last two or three years, these players (at United) have gotten away with murder, and they deserve it.

The Italian coach stated he would have preferred [Antonio] Conte or [Thomas] Tuchel as his replacement. In the end of the season, it appears that one may become available.

Conte or Tuchel as manager of Manchester United?

"I'm not saying they'll overtake Man City or Liverpool, but I don't believe they're that far behind Chelsea in terms of squad strength, and I believe that once they find the right coach and have two or three years to rebuild, they'll be a serious contender once more."

Scholes selected two of Manchester United's Premier League rivals when asked which managers he would consider for the post.

This is a pair of world-class coaches who inspire fear in their players while also winning, which is the most essential thing." United would be in far better shape if one of those managers were in charge."
