"Who wants to come into this club? It feels like a right mess; it does feel poisonous."
"We know [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Paul] Pogba, [Raphael] Varane, [Nemanja] Matic have great experience and won trophies but the rest of the squad haven't proven themselves to be good enough to win anything. "Some of these players have had a lot of games now. Marcus Rashford, he's had a lot of games - are we ever going to see these lads reach their potential? "Are they ever going to be good enough to win trophies? [Harry] Maguire, is he good enough? [Victor] Lindelof, is he good enough? "We keep saying how good they are but they are failing to produce what is required on the pitch."https://twitter.com/WebbyONeill/status/1480898755029315589
"He won promotion in Germany and a bit with Schalke but he has been asked to come and manage the biggest club in the world, it is something I just cannot get my head round. "They should have the best available out there as their manager and they haven’t got that and I find that astonishing. "We should have one of the top five managers in the world. Now Tuchel, [Pep] Guardiola and Klopp are the top three but they are unavailable, there is no chance of getting them. But then you look at Antonio Conte."
"He will probably challenge for the top four and United missed a trick with him. They could probably still get him from Tottenham. Tottenham fans probably won't like me for saying that. "You can see he is already getting frustrated with his squad of players and is asking for other stuff. Conte could do something special here, he has got the pedigree to do it. Will we be able to get him? I don't know."Current Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino is believed to be the main candidate for the permanent position when Rangnick takes up a consultancy role in May, and Scholes believes appointing the Argentine would be a smart move. He added: "Pochettino is a brilliant manager. I like what he did at Southampton and Tottenham. This season he has to prove he's an elite manager. "He still has something to prove for me but is more than capable of doing it." After progressing into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a scrappy 1-0 win against Aston Villa, United face Steven Gerrard's side again at the weekend, this time travelling to Villa Park to face them in the Premier League.
