For the first time since 2023, Manchester United finished the season in the third place. That was celebrated in the offices of Old Trafford, mainly due to the increased revenue and the participation in the Champions League. The fans of United, who are mainly in their 2013 mode, when they were champions, have high hopes and great expectations from the new season, but so far, the transfer window had been a great disappointment. The Red Devils so far bought Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans, Karl Darlow and Tynan Thompson, but those signings are hardly a reason to be thrilled. Tielemans is an instant upgrade, while Santos was reserved Chelsea player last season, not a starter. Thompson was signed for future purposes while Darlow is simply a backup goalkeeper. More signings are needed and there is a club legend with a few ideas.Rashford cracks the code: £4m annual raise despite not playing for United in over a yearPaul Scholes was asked about the parts of the squad which are in need of refreshment and he immediately turned do the defensive side of the team.“I think they sorted out the forward areas last June but I think they probably need two centre backs. You might laugh at this and I might get stick for this, but I would go and sign Cristian Romero from Tottenham. I know he’s a nutter, I know he’s got disciplinary issues, but he can be a very good centre half and someone that Michael Carrick could really calm down. They’re talking about 30 or 40 million quid for a player who has been centre half in a World Cup final. I know he’s got disciplinary issues but I would go and get him. I think they’re desperate for a centre-back, the current ones aren’t good enough” he said on The Good, The Bad and The Football podcast.The Mourinho bombshell: "I signed to go to Manchester United after Sir Alex"Even though Manchester signed Tielemans and Santos, Scholes still thinks the club needs another midfielder. His preferred choice has always been Sandro Tonali, but the Red Devils never went near Tottenham’s 100 million evaluation. So, he has another player in mind.“I can’t believe they’re not trying to buy Adam Wharton. Sandro Tonali would have been my first-choice but with him gone now, Adam Wharton looks perfect to me” said Scholes. Who knows, maybe the executives at Old Trafford will take his ideas into consideration.##NAJAVA_MECA_9889617##
