EPL: Amorim could offload up to 14 Man Utd players – Scholes

Former Manchester United playmaker, Paul Scholes, has said current manager Ruben Amorim might have to offload up to 14 players.

According to Scholes, the 40-year-old has a far bigger rebuilding job on his hands at Old Trafford than Mikel Arteta did at Arsenal.

Amorim has endured a tough start to his time at United and recently described the team as the worst in the club’s history.

Arteta found Arsenal in a similar state when he replaced Unai Emery five years ago.

But he gradually built a team that has competed for the Premier League title in the last three seasons.

Arteta began by getting rid of the likes of Matteo Guendouzi, Mesut Ozil and Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang.

Amorim appears to be on a similar path having left Marcus Rashford out of his match day squad for over a month.

The former Sporting Lisbon boss is also not playing Casemiro.

“The trouble Amorim’s got is there’s not just three of them,” Scholes told The Overlap fan debate.

“You could be talking about 13 or 14 of them he doesn’t want.”
