Man Utd transfer news: Paul Scholes issues two demands to Jose Mourinho
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Paul Scholes does not want to see Marcus Rashford or Anthony Martial leave the club anytime soon.
Utd: Martial and Rashford won't be comfortable, says Wright
Both Rashford and Martial have seen their game time limited at Manchester United under Jose Mourinho.
The arrival of Romelu Lukaku last summer and Alexis Sanchez in January means the duo have often played second-fiddle and have been restricted to substitute appearances.
Manager Mourinho has been publicly critical of his players this season, including Martial and Rashford who took some flak following the defeat to Brighton earlier this month.
But Scholes does not think Mourinho went about his criticism in the right way to get the best out of his squad.

I just don’t want them to be players who leave and turn out to be sensational
“It’s a little bit worrying, especially the comment after the Brighton game,” Scholes told talkSPORT.
“These young players need an arm around them these days, they need a bit of love at times and they aren’t really getting that.
“Would they improve if they get that? I hope that they would.”
Marcus Rashford and especially Anthony Martial have been linked with a move away in recent weeks.

But Scholes is worried if they were to leave, Manchester United would end up regretting the decision.
“I know they’re good players, they’re really talented players,” he added.
“Those two especially, I just don’t want them to be players who leave and turn out to be sensational, because you can easily see that happening.”
