P. Scholes: "Having Lukaku in the attacking position you will not lose the Premier League"

"Manchester United" legend Paul Scholes has drawn attention to another issue within the ranks of the "Red Devils" this season - the attack.

P. Scholes was particularly critical of Romelu Lukaku's poor performance. The Belgian, who cost 85 million euros in 2017, has scored four goals in 11 matches this season, but it is not the number of goals, but rather the missed opportunities that are a problem for "Man Utd" this season.

The Englishman believes that having such a striker in the team, it is doubtful whether one can expect convincing victories in the league.

"I am just not sure if we can win the league with a sniper like him," Scholes told ESPN sources. - I don't think his play in the final third (penalty area) is good enough for a club like "Man Utd".

"I'm not sure he puts in enough effort. Of course, he is still a young player and has previously shown that he can score a lot of goals. He is quite fast and strong, but at the moment Lukaku looks like just another player in the "United" ranks who lacks confidence in himself.

"I doubt he understands how good of a footballer he can be. He needs help, because who else besides him can play in the striker position in this team?" - added P. Scholes.

According to the latest reports, "Manchester United", like many other European clubs, closely monitors the performance of Polish forward Krzysztof Piatek at the "Genoa" team.
