Paul Scholes, the legendary former player, spoke about Manchester United after the club signed only two new midfielders, drawing comparisons with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Real Madrid.
On 6 Aug 2026 GMT+7, Paul Scholes, the legendary English midfielder, commented on Manchester United, the prominent Premier League club, under the leadership of English manager Michael Carrick, following the signing of only two new midfielders. He compared United’s situation with Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Real Madrid.
Paul Scholes stated, "Arsenal won the Premier League and reached the finals in three competitions, including the UEFA Champions League final. They have already started strengthening their squad. Tottenham Hotspur, despite not qualifying for the UEFA Champions League, have signed more players than Manchester United, who will be competing in the Champions League next season."
"To be honest, I don't think the club is serious enough. I don’t see when Manchester United will return to their glory days. This is why Real Madrid have been more successful than Manchester United—they have been more serious in the transfer market."
