Paul Scholes reportedly wants a coaching role at Manchester United
Scholes has been highly critical of Louis van Gaal's tenure at Old Trafford, branding his style of play 'boring', 'negative' and 'depressing'.
"You've just seen 90 minutes of boring, defensive football. The players are bored, fans are bored, everyone's bored," he said after United's 1-0 FA Cup win over Sheffield United last month.
"I am delighted that Nicky has accepted the role of Head of Academy," United's executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward said.
"Nicky has the traditions and heritage of this Club in his blood and he is the natural choice to ensure that, in modernising the way the Academy operates and shaping the new investment we are making, it retains the values and the focus that it has always had."
