The former United midfielder believes the Dutchman is playing four players out of position and has accused the manager of trying to fit “square pegs in round holes”
Paul Scholes believes Louis van Gaal is trying to fit “square pegs in round holes” with his Manchester United team selection and claims Marouane Fellaini, Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Anthony Martial are all being played out of position.
United limped through to the FA Cup fourth round as a late Wayne Rooney penalty sealed a 1-0 victory over Sheffield United at Old Trafford on Saturday.
And Scholes insists the United boss is still struggling to get his team balance right.
“The big thing for me, I see square pegs in round holes with players in this team,” Scholes told BT Sport .
“Marouane Fellaini because he was a real handful in the box, you can hit the ball up to him and he brings it down brilliantly. He’’s playing in a central midfield position, trying to dictate play and create. It’s not his game, he’s never going to be able to do that.
“Herrera, I don’t know what he is, is he a No.10, is he a midfield player? I don’t think Van Gaal knows that.
“Juan Mata gets stuck on the right hand side, [he’s got] no pace to play there.
“Martial, is he a left winger or a centre forward? Who knows, we don’t know. He gets constantly changed from position to position, I think there are so many questions about this team.
