“If Guardiola was the manager of Manchester United he would hate what he was seeing”- Paul Scholes on ‘unimpressive’ Manchester United

While speaking to beIN sports, Scholes explained how Mourinho was really concerned with results and not necessarily impressing football fans.

He said: “As a football person if you’re a coach and you see your team playing – he [Mourinho] may be happy [with the style of play],”

“It’s a team who grind out results rather than really impresses you. That’s probably what he is happy with, that’s where he has been at his best over the years.

“If Guardiola was the manager of Manchester United he would hate what he was seeing – and it would be different.

“But, the most important thing to him is results, he will be judged on that.”

Scholes also believes that United’s performance last season was below par and that another trophyless season would be a “disaster” for the Premier League giants:

“Last year was a disappointing year. You don’t have any divine right to win a trophy, I know that, but the way they performed in the league wasn’t at the standard required,” he added.

“They got beaten by Sevilla in the Champions League who are a poor team. Yes, they got to the final of the FA Cup, but every year that Manchester United don’t win something is a disaster, and that will carry on.”
