WHAT HAPPENED?
The Red Devils made a couple of attacking signings in the past two seasons with Rasmus Hojlund joining the club from Atalanta last summer and Joshua Zirkzee coming to Old Trafford from Bologna ahead of the 2024/25 season. The Danish forward experienced a slow start to life in England before hitting a purple patch midway into the second. He ended up scoring 16 goals across all competitions in 43 appearances. In the current season, the striker was initially sidelined due to an injury but has now returned to action and appeared in United’s last three matches.

Zirkzee, on the other hand, got off to a dream start having scored on his debut against Fulham, however, since then he has experienced a dry spell and is without a goal in his last seven appearances. While raising questions on the club’s recruitment policy, Scholes claimed that Erik ten Hag should consult his assistant and another club legend Ruud van Nistelrooy while making transfer decisions.
