Paul Scholes rips into Man United's £145m defence: Why Matthijs De Ligt 'is a concern', Lisandro Martinez 'not good enough even when he's fit'... and the game that raised fears over Leny Yoro

Paul Scholes has denounced three Manchester United stars worth £145million, claiming they do not have the potential to deliver a Premier League title.

In a forensic analysis of United's squad - who he fears could risk relegation next season - Scholes named and shamed multiple stars he deems sub-par.

The Red Devils have spent elaborately on their defence in recent seasons.

Among others, Harry Maguire arrived for £80m; Aaron Wan-Bissaka for £50m; Victor Lindelof for £30.7m; Lisandro Martinez for £55m; Matthijs De Ligt for £38.
