Former Manchester United great, Paul Scholes, has claimed that any player would struggle in this current team, including Messi.
The Red Devils have had an underwhelming start to the new campaign, losing to Brighton and Hove Albion and West Ham while also recording unconvincing wins over Leicester.
There are currently eighth on the table and the pressure is on Mourinho to change the fortunes of the team in the face of an increasingly hostile fanbase.
Speaking to ESPN, Scholes said that there is no player who can come and save the team
“It feels like every player who comes into the team struggles,”

“I feel like we could sign Lionel Messi at the moment and he’d struggle in this team.
“Who is the best? Messi. But Ronaldo is brilliant.
“Ronaldo is sensational at what he does, with pace and power. He scores, he takes free-kicks. But as an all-round footballer, Messi — wow, his passing — has absolutely everything.”
Scholes also spoke on Paul Pogba and his rift with the club
“How old is he, 25? He does some of the best things in games, a great pass or dribble, a great touch or dribble. Then, five minutes later, he’ll do one of the worst things like his brain has switched off, like it’s all about him because he’s just shown everyone how good he is,” he added.
“That becomes easy to play against because you know that cockiness will come. Against Wolves, he showed a great touch to Fred but then the next minute he’d given the ball away in midfield, which led to a goal.
“That sums him up.”
