Paul Scholes told TNT Sports he is concerned about how long Ruben Amorim will need to rebuild Manchester United after the sacking of Erik ten Hag.

Scholes also questioned whether Amorim can fully transplant his coaching philosophy to Old Trafford with The Red Devils’ current squad, but praised the manager’s positive approach as Sporting CP hammered Manchester City in his final game in Lisbon.

Paul Scholes believes it could take four years for Manchester United to get close to challenging for the Premier League title under Ruben Amorim.

The Red Devils lured him away from Sporting CP with a two-and-a-half year contract after sacking Erik ten Hag, and Amorim immediately raised expectations by thrashing Manchester City 4-1 in the UEFA Champions League in his final home game at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Amorim will start work in Manchester on November 11, taking over a side 13th in the Premier League and barely clinging on to the UEFA Europa League play-off places, and Paul Scholes addressed the scale of the task facing the 39-year-old.

“The big concern for me is how can he get this team to challenge for the Champions League places when it should be the very, very least,” Scholes TNT Sports.

“And then, I do not know how much time he is going to have to make that next step again, to get it challenging for the league title. You are thinking three-and-a-half or four years to even get close to that.

“He is coming in at a situation where they are 14th in the league, 20-odd in the Europa League, so he is coming at a really bad time.

“Some of the bigger managers you expected to do well – the Van Gaals, the Mourinhos – did not quite work for them. But their level was still higher, they were still going for Champions League places, not quite the league.

“And I think it is going to be quite easy for him to get this team five or six up. They finished eighth last year, it was a bad year so he has not got that much work to do to beat that, but I think he is more than capable of doing that.”
