PAUL SCHOLES has claimed that Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim “doesn't like” his squad.
The Red Devils legend, 50, didn't hold back in his assessment of Amorim and his squad following .
Man Utd were unable to take an advantage back to with them for the second leg after for next week's return fixture.
But boss Amorim was still pleased with what he saw from his players, telling the media that his side “did well” and are “improving game by game”.
, who won 11 titles and two Champions Leagues with Man Utd, wasn't buying that assessment for a second – claiming Amorim doesn't even believe it himself.
Speaking on , the 66-time international said: “I don't think he believes that to be honest with you.
“I don't think he likes this team. I think he knows he hasn't got a great team and I think he wants better – he needs better.
“I think you could see that with the way he is on the touchline, he always looks disappointed to me.
“The way he was speaking there tells me he's disappointed with what he's got.
“He needs better, everyone knows he needs better if he's going to challenge and be where want to be. I think it's all over the pitch”.
Adding: “I don't think they have control in the middle of the pitch. I don't think the forward's quality is quite there.
“Look, he knows. He's not stupid, he's not going to say it, but he doesn't like this football team”.
Scholes hinted that it could take “two or three years” for United to fix their issues and improve on where they are at present.
Amorim has made just one signing since his arrival at the Theatre of Dreams in November – the £25m arrival of full-back .
Man Utd will have the home advantage in next Thursday's second-leg against .
And pressure will be mounting on the players ahead of a game which effectively makes or breaks their season.
Having been dumped from both domestics cups and languishing in 13th spot in the Premier League – winning just 10 of their 31 league games – the Europa League is their last roll of the dice.
Up next is a visit to ‘s high-flying Newcastle on Sunday, before focus can then switch to the second leg.
