Paul Scholes believes that Manchester United need to sign one of two potentially available “special players”
United finished second in the Premier League this season, but a distant 19 points off the pace of champions Manchester City.
They also lost in the final of the FA Cup and fell at the last-16 stage of the Champions League, meaning they end the season trophyless.
Scholes feels United “can get close again” by making a marquee signing this summer.
“If he can change something through the summer, buy new players and he can find a way of playing that maybe is a little bit more entertaining then who knows, you don’t know,” he told the Daily Mail.
“A lot can happen over the summer. Let’s hope we can get close again.
“We need some good attacking players. I think the nucleus of the squad is quite good, there’s some really good young attacking players.
“I think he possibly needs a bit of help with [Romelu] Lukaku. He seems like the only out-and-out centre-forward he’s got.
“It’s hard to know what’s available, would Gareth Bale be available? People like Neymar, will they be available? I don’t know. These are the type of special players that I think United need.”
