Even Sergio Aguero would struggle under “boring” Van Gaal according to Paul Scholes

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has laid into Louis van Gaal once more.

Speaking on BT Sport after United's 1-0 Champions League win over CSKA Moscow, Scholes called his former club "boring" and criticised the sales of attacking-minded players like Robin van Persie and the loaning out of Adnan Januzaj, saying: "I want United to blast teams away and be creative. I want to see that but it’s not happened. "I think they’re brilliantly coached defensively. Sometimes you’ve got to do that against Barcelona or Real Madrid but not against Crystal Palace or CSKA Moscow at home. "It’s difficult to coach attractive football. Whether Van Gaal doesn’t allows it, I don’t know. It’s a boring style of football." The Man United legend also stepped in to defend current club captain Wayne Rooney, saying the manager must take the blame for failing to get goals from England's record scorer. "You have to wonder whether he has problem with forward players. Just look at the players he’s let go - Van Persie, Januzaj, Di Maria. Look at the bench on Saturday, there wasn’t a centre forward. "Rooney is getting all the stick but think any striker would struggle to score goals in that team. I think Sergio Aguero would struggle."
