When Paul Scholes talks, Manchester United fans tend to squirm a little—because the man never sugar-coats. And this week, the ginger maestro of Old Trafford has once again done what he does best: tell it like it is. According to sources, Scholes believes Ruben Amorim’s spell as United boss is turning into something between a slow-motion car crash and a badly timed haircut—you keep hoping it’ll grow out better, but it just doesn’t.
Before the season began, Scholes warned that United might struggle. Well, congratulations to him on that prophetic eye, because “struggle” is an understatement. Amorim’s United looks less like a team and more like a confused jigsaw—half the pieces missing, the other half upside down.
Paul Scholes questions Ruben Amorim’s future
In his chat with FourFourTwo, Scholes didn’t even bother with polite football clichés. “If he’d have been sacked on Sunday,” he said, “we’d all be saying, ‘Yeah, about time.’” Ouch. When Scholes says “about time,” you can practically hear the final whistle on a manager’s career.
He added that Amorim had excuses last year—injuries, fixtures, the usual laundry list—but now, with £200 million spent and time on his hands, the improvement is still MIA. “There’s just no sign of it getting any better, is there?” he sighed. Translation: even Scholes’ patience has left the chat.
Paul Scholes: The blunt truth United can’t ignore
According to sources, the Manchester United hierarchy is torn—replace Amorim during the international break or risk another lost season. Either way, Scholes’ comments echo what many fans already whisper between clenched teeth: United’s chaos isn’t tactical—it’s existential.
And let’s be honest, when Paul Scholes says a manager is out of ideas, it hits different. The man built a career out of seeing passes no one else could. If he can’t see progress, maybe it’s because there’s none to see.
Author’s Opinion:
Scholes may be brutally honest, but he’s rarely wrong. Amorim’s project feels like an essay that started with promise but got lost halfway through—beautiful intro, disastrous conclusion. If United don’t act soon, the “about time” Scholes mentioned might turn into “too late.”
