Paul Scholes says United ‘like watching paint dry’ but Memphis could change that

Paul Scholes knows a thing or two about playing attractive football, and he isn't happy with Manchester United's recent displays.

Speaking on BT Sport before United's clash against Newcastle, the former England international said following Louis van Gaal's side has been "like watching paint dry" at times. However, Scholes believes that could all be about to change thanks to Memphis Depay. 'He's very similar to Ronaldo in ways,' he said. 'You can come to this ground and just watch him.'

#MUFC has been like "watching paint dry" in recent seasons, until arrival of @Memphis, says Scholes. #FletchAndSav http://t.co/KNpSPwt4Jc

Post-match, however, and Scholes beat an old drum. 'There's a lack of excitement; a lack of quality really.' He added, 'Newcastle at home; you should be beating them.'
