Paul Scholes got a night off complaining about how Manchester United played as his former club did him a favour by playing well. And Scholes named one player who would make them even better.
United were finally on form as they beat Feyenoord 4-0 in the Europa League. And whilst it might not have been the hardest opposition in the world it did make a change for the Red Devils on this season's form.
Most pleasing for Jose Mourinho would have been the sight of his attacking line up clicking. However Zlatan Ibrahimovic was probably below par.

Pre kick off Scholes identified the man United should look to replace the Swede with saying:
"I think Griezmann would be up there. He looks like a top centre forward for Atletico. I think we need to be in the market for someone like that."
Ibrahimovic is thought to be signing a new deal at Old Trafford with his initial one year deal having the option for a second year and Mourinho this week confirming the club would take him up on it.

French forward Griezmann has been linked with a move from Madrid to Manchester before and is known to be a close friend of United star Paul Pogba.
The Atleti forward would certainly be a good signing!
