MAN UTD LEGEND SCHOLES: LVG'S TEAM WORSE THAN MOYES

Paul Scholes rates Louis van Gaal's Manchester United as WORSE than the David Moyes team of last season.

Moyes, now in charge of Real Sociedad, was sacked by United before the end of last season.

United legend Scholes told BT Sport: "He looks really happy to be fourth but this is a club that needs to be challenging to win the league. He's spent £150m.

"They spent £70m last year under David Moyes as well, that's £220m in 18 months and they look worse.

"He's not obsessed with possession but it is a very possession based game and what we've been used to over the years is not what are getting - and we probably won't get that. It's not great to watch but you have to say they are winning games.

"Not finishing fourth is not good, but to me not challenging for the league is not good enough. But we have to give him time. They can't keep on sacking managers."

Scholes added: "I can probably forgive him for this season - he's brought new players and they need time to settle in and so does he. But this time next year if they are not challenging for the league then something is wrong."
