“I think he spoke well but the time for speaking is done for me,” he said.

“It’s time to start showing. When he says they are close, are they really that close?

“Beaten in the Europa League final by Villarreal, a place with a population of 50,000. Beat by them.

“Second in the league, 14 points behind Manchester City. Doesn’t feel like it’s close.”

Scholes added that he does believe the club has made progress under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

“The thing I worry about is, does losing hurt them enough? It’s almost become an accepted thing,” said Scholes.

“I think there’s a lot of players that it (losing) doesn’t really hurt them. There are few, you look at Bruno Fernandes and Cavani, they won’t like it. There are the ones who look to me like they are proper hurt when they get beat. The others, it can look a little bit acceptable.

“Even from the manager, sometimes, it looks a little bit acceptable. United have almost become a nice club that people like.”
