Man Utd Icon Paul Scholes Slams Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Casemiro Deals, Blasts Club’s Transfer Policy

• Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has castigated the club's transfer model, saying the last two windows were bad
• Scholes criticised the signing of Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Casemiro
• United face their toughest test this season with their trip to Manchester City for the Manchester derby

Over the last few years, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has lashed out at the club's transfer policy and some of the team's signings.

The former midfield general has reprimanded the club's decision to sign Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Casemiro, saying he doesn't think they put any serious thoughts into it.

According to the Mirror, Paul Scholes's criticism of United's recruitment policy continued after the former midfielder said someone at the club must take responsibility - or Erik ten Hag will bear the brunt of United fans down the line.

The 47-year-old has harshly criticised the club's leadership since Sir Alex Ferguson retired close to 10 years ago.

Scholes hit out at the club's transfer model

Scholes singled Jadon Sancho, Raphael Varane and Casemiro out, saying someone high in the hierarchy is deciding on who the team signs, not the manager. Casemiro joined United from Real Madrid last month, according to Sky Sports.

"Sancho was a young player who Manchester United spent a lot of money on, who was unproven in the league."

"And why would a club like Real Madrid let Varane go.? If you looked at him last season, he didn't look right. I didn't think it was a great transfer window."

Scholes added that without proper oversight in the recruitment department, ten Hag will be blamed if things go wrong.

"This year, Casemiro was done over two days. I wonder if it was the manager's signing. A lot of money, a long contract. I think they need to put someone in charge of recruitment. Eventually, the manager will get blamed for it."

United play Manchester City in the Manchester derby this Sunday, a match expected to be a barometer for ten Hag to see if his players can hang with the best.

Scholes 'surprised' by Casemiro

Sports Brief earlier reported on Paul Scholes being surprised by Casemiro's style and ability on the ball, when United played Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League a few weeks ago.

Casemiro joined United from Real Madrid in August in a deal worth £70 million.

He is yet to hit the ground running at Old Trafford, with Scott McTominay being ten Hag's preferred pivot midfielder.
