Former Man Utd player Paul Scholes raises doubts about Ruben Amorim's managerial credentials and suggests two alternative candidates for the club.

Paul Scholes recently shared his thoughts on Manchester United's search for a new manager, expressing doubts about the club's pursuit of Sporting CP boss Ruben Amorim. Instead, the United legend believes that former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane and Barcelona legend Xavi would be better choices to succeed Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.

United recently parted ways with Ten Hag and appointed Ruud van Nistelrooy as the interim boss. However, the search for a permanent replacement is already underway and Amorim is reportedly in talks to join the Premier League giants. The 39-year-old has had a successful stint at Sporting, winning two league titles and gaining admiration from Manchester City as well.

But Scholes remains unconvinced that Amorim's success in Portugal makes him the right fit for the job at Old Trafford. The former midfielder even criticized United for not securing the services of Thomas Tuchel, who was recently appointed as the new England manager.

Scholes also mentioned Xavi as a potential candidate for the United job, but he believes that it could be a risky move. "Manchester United is the biggest club in the world, so they need the best of the best. If they think Xavi is that man, then it's a risky one," he said. However, Scholes also acknowledged that Xavi's success at Barcelona makes him a viable option.

Aside from Zidane and Xavi, Scholes also mentioned other potential candidates such as Amorim, Thomas Frank, and Tuchel. He believes that Tuchel would have been the perfect choice, but now that he's no longer available, there are still other options out there who could lead the team to success.

In the end, Scholes emphasized the importance of finding the right manager for Manchester United, a club with high expectations and a rich history. He remains hopeful that the club will make the right decision and bring in someone who can guide the team to glory.
