Paul Scholes included two Real Madrid players when asked to name which players he would sign for Manchester United.

The former midfielder has been an outspoken critic this season of Louis van Gaal, who could pay with his job for United’s underachievement.

Whoever is in charge next season, a major overhaul of the playing squad is required at Old Trafford.

When speaking exclusively to club fanzine United We Stand, Scholes suggested three possible names he would like to see the club target this summer.

“I’d like Luka Modric. How old is he now? Might be a bit too old, but he’s a great player,” Scholes told the United We Stand fanzine.

“I like Raphael Varane. I said realistic and I’m picking Real Madrid players?

“We probably need a centre-forward but there’s not too many of them about so I’m going to say I’d like us to bring Paul Pogba back.”
