Paul Scholes has suggested that Ruud van Nistelrooy should have had more influence over Manchester United's recent forward transfers, implying that the Dutchman might not have opted to bring in Joshua Zirkzee in the summer.
United have been struggling for goals this season, with only Southampton netting fewer than Erik ten Hag's team in the league to date.
The manager's plans were disrupted when Rasmus Hojlund sustained a hamstring injury during pre-season, limiting the Dane to brief substitute appearances in United's last two matches.
Zirkzee joined Old Trafford from Bologna in a deal worth £36.5million and scored on his league debut against Fulham on the first day of the season.
