Besides midfielder Paul Scholes, another position that Manchester United, the top English club, must strengthen to return to title contention.
On 12 Aug 2026 GMT+7, besides midfielder Paul Scholes, the legendary former England "Three Lions" and Manchester United midfielder pointed out that his old team, now led by English manager Michael Carrick, needs to reinforce their squad to compete for trophies again in the 2026-27 season.
Paul Scholes stated, “I think Manchester United might need two center-backs. If it were up to me, I’d want to sign Cristian Romero. I know he has some discipline issues, but I believe he can be a very good center-half. I think someone like Michael Carrick can help calm him down.”
“And you’re talking about just £30 or £40 million (approximately 1,339-1,785 million baht). Considering a player like him, he’s someone who has already won the World Cup with Argentina.”
