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.”
