Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has revealed which player he thinks should leave the club in this transfer window.

The former midfielder has not been shy to criticise certain players and even managers while working as a pundit, and following United's 2-1 victory over LASK in the UEFA Europa League on Wednesday, he believes it's time for one of the Red Devils' goalscorers on the night to move on.
Jesse Lingard scored the equaliser after United had gone a goal down to the Austrian side, before Anthony Martial scored the winner to complete a 7-1 aggregate win in the last 16.
Despite Lingard's goal being his second in as many games, after scoring late against Leicester City in the final game of the 2019/20 Premier League season, Scholes believes his time at Old Trafford is up.
"He is capable of more than he's showing at United," said Scholes told BT Sport.
"When he's playing well, he has something to offer, but lately he has not been good enough. Is he a starting XI player if you're going to win the league and big trophies at Manchester United? I'm not sure.
"It was a good chance for him to play 90 minutes, but when Ole (Gunnar Solskjaer) took him off, it is a sign Ole is thinking of moving him on."
It is a big change from Scholes regarding the player as he had previously praised the England international when he came through the ranks at the club. However, it seems Lingard has not fulfilled his potential as expected, and the Red Devils icon feels he could benefit from heading to a mid-table team.
"I know what Jesse is capable of, I grew up with him, played with him, coached him in the reserves, but he has just become a squad player," Scholes added.

"He should be at the peak of his career and does he only want to play 10/15/20 games?
"Jesse is a good lad, he just needs a run of games, but I don't think he will get that at Manchester United, maybe at a mid-table team like an Everton or West Ham."
