Scholes aims more criticism at Van Gaal

Paul Scholes is refusing to back down in his withering
assessment of Manchester United manager Louis van
Gaal's methods.

Manchester United great Paul Scholes has continued his war of
words with Louis van Gaal by stating the current crop need to
stop focusing on philosophy and start playing attacking football.

Scholes, who won the Premier League title 11 times during his
time at Old Trafford, last month hit out at what he perceives to
be a negative approach under United boss Van Gaal.

That drew a terse response from the Dutchman, who
criticised Scholes' comments and insisted his side do take
risks. However, the former England international is sticking to
his original assessment.

"It hasn't been great for 13 months, but I better not say too
much because Louis might be listening," Scholes said at a
charity event at Hotel Football.

"There's been talk of a philosophy, a process. For me,
Manchester United don't need a philosophy.

"The fans want to see attacking football and goals - that's the
Manchester United way."

However, Scholes did praise Van Gaal for bringing Jesse
Lingard into the first team.

The 22-year-old has made seven appearances in all
competitions for United this term and Scholes has been
impressed by the midfielder.

"It's been good to see Jesse Lingard in the team. It's good to
see a young lad come through the ranks and do well," he added.

"I thought he was United's best player against CSKA Moscow in
the Champions League recently."
