PAUL SCHOLES hit out at critics of Manchester United's recruitment following the club's struggles this month.
United have found it difficult to buy players in January after splashing out big fees on Casemiro, Antony and Lisandro Martinez last summer.
That has limited the club to the loan signings of Wout Weghorst and Jack Butland, leading some to question United's recruitment.
United's lack of depth was highlighted in the 3-2 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday but Scholes believes the criticism is unfair.
He took to Instagram writing: "Here we go again, managers and every other f***er blaming failure on recruitment…
"I don't see these people complaining when they sign the players, I see nothing but excitement at new players coming through the door.
