Looks like someone put 50p in the Scholes. He’s had this to say about Martial..
"These forwards are exceptionally talented lads. We all know that," Scholes told Stadium Astro.
“The problem with United’s forwards is that none of them is an actual centre-forward.
“Martial almost conned us into thinking he was one at the end of last season because he scored so many goals and was quite good.
“He’s started this season quite poorly again, which makes you think he isn’t. It’s misleading. That’s why I’ve kept saying we need a top-class No. 9."
He (Scholes) obviously cares about the club but he does sometimes comes out with stuff that probably doesn’t help things. Is he right? Or is he just having a moan with no substance? Or as a United legend does he have old people’s rights?
Scholes vs Martial

Charlie Dimmock would be too fat to fit on the canvas these days.

Scholes says we need a CF but then complains about Cavani. Who else would he buy? Kane? No chance Levy would sell him to us.

scholay, do you think a Premier league winning team has to have a true number 9 though? I mean, Liverpool have an awesome attacking three but I wouldn't describe any of them as a number 9.

Not necessarily, but I do believe the way our manager sets up we do need it. He has been banging on about Martial and Rashford scoring all types of goals, unfortunately I do not see it with these two. I do hope they both form a deadly partnership with Cavani though.

He might as well have come out and said “my opinion changes with the wind”

If Scholes carries on with his poison, there will be retribution against him.

"Neither are CF material, both widemen. Very frustrating and inconsistent widemen to boot!"
You probably can't name 10 more consistent wide men at their age in fairness.

I don't need to, I'm talking about 2 wide players we own. Pay attention.
Don't tell me, you watch a different game in an alternate universe where they are perfect! Thought as much!

Whilst I agree that Scholes.does come across a little miserable, he is right in that our current collection of forwards aren't good enough for a sode that aims to win a league title.
Real, Bayern, City, Juve, PSG all hugely succesful clubs who have used CF's.
Then you look at kane, Haaland, Vardy, Aubameyang, Lukaku, each capable of getting 25-30 goals most seasons despite being less talented / at lesser teams than Martial & Rashford.
