Scholes: United should want Madrid duo

Paul Scholes believes Manchester United should try and sign either Luka Modric or Toni Kroos from Real Madrid.

Speaking after his former club's defeat at Feyenoord in the Europa League, Scholes said that United needed a central midfield partner for new signing Paul Pogba who could control the game and allow the Frenchman's game to flourish.

"I think Mourinho should go into the market for a controlling midfielder, who can control where Paul goes and control the game," the 41-year-old told BT Sport.

"I think they still need that type of player. A Luke Modric or a Toni Kroos, and I think these players are available. Paul Pogba would be a lot better playing alongside one of them."

Any move for either of the duo appears unlikely at the moment, with both reportedly very happy with life in the Spanish capital with the club keen to offer them extended deals.
