Paul Scholes slams Manchester United moves for Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane

Paul Scholes has taken a a swipe at Manchester United's recruitment of Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, accusing bosses of setting Erik ten Hag up to take the 'blame' if they don't work out.

The former Manchester United midfielder has spoken previously of his irritation at the way the club is run off the pitch and how they handle recruitment.

United spent more than £211million this summer on six signings, including winger Antony, midfielder Casemiro and centre back Lisandro Martinez.

But Scholes, who has addressed United's model speaking on The Overlap, in partnership with Sky Bet, has been less-than-impressed at decision-making on Sancho and Varane, two players signed before Ten Hag took over as boss.
