Man Utd legend Paul Scholes: 'I wouldn't enjoy playing in Louis van Gaal's team'

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has admitted that he would not have enjoyed playing under current manager Louis van Gaal.

The Red Devils suffered a shock defeat to Middlesbrough in the fourth round of the Capital One Cup on Wednesday as they were beaten 3-1 on penalties.

In the Premier League United are fourth in the table, just two points behind leaders Manchester City, but they have scored 15 league goals, the fewest of the top four.

"It's a team now you wouldn't want to play against because they're tightly organised, but it seems [Van Gaal] doesn't want players to beat men and it's probably not a team I'd have enjoyed playing in," Scholes told BBC Radio Manchester.

United will play Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
