“Shocking Revelation! Paul Scholes’ Surprising Desire: The Man United Star He Dreamed of Stealing from Spurs
Paul Scholes wishes Manchester United had beaten Tottenham Hotspur to one of their summer signings.
Spurs Finding Their Rhythm
After a rocky start to the season, Ange Postecoglou’s squad is now in fine form, securing four consecutive wins across all competitions. Key players have started to find their scoring touch, particularly summer signing Dominic Solanke, who has netted three goals in his last three matches.
The 26-year-old striker has impressed with his overall contributions, tirelessly pressing opponents, effectively holding up play, and frequently dropping deep to connect with teammates.
Scholes Weighs In on Solanke
Solanke scored during Tottenham’s 3-0 victory over Manchester United, showcasing his poacher’s instinct by tapping in a corner knock-on from Pape Sarr.
Scholes expressed his bewilderment that United didn’t pursue the English striker, emphasizing that the club still hasn’t resolved its attacking issues. In an interview with Premier League Productions (29/09/24), he stated, “Other teams, especially those at the top, have more firepower than Manchester United.
“Even Tottenham’s acquisition of Solanke for the fee they paid makes me think, ‘I’d prefer Solanke up front for us over our current options.’ They haven’t adequately addressed the center forward position and seem to be gambling with young players without certainty they’ll deliver.”
Solanke: Postecoglou’s Top Target
Postecoglou has repeatedly identified Solanke as his primary striker target, actively pushing for Spurs to secure the player from Bournemouth (ESPN). Despite some skepticism over the transfer fee, the Spurs manager felt it was a worthwhile investment, given Solanke’s exceptional work ethic off the ball.
