Paul Scholes has bemoaned Manchester United’s ‘recruitment mess’ under Erik ten Hag and outlined his concerns about summer signing Joshua Zirkzee in the wake of the side’s goalless stalemate with Aston Villa.
The Red Devils headed to Villa Park in need of a strong performance on the back of a miserable start to the season both domestically and in Europe, with Ten Hag’s men held to a 3-3 draw by Porto in midweek.
But a much-changed United team struggled to create clear-cut chances and Bruno Fernandes came closest for the visitors with a free-kick which struck the cross bar.
United later wasted a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in stoppage time, only for Alejandro Garnacho to fluff his pass to Fernandes, who was clean through on goal after a rapid counter-attack.
