He singled out striker Anthony Martial for particular criticism

Scholes has lamented United's lack of cutting edge in the final third

Former midfielder Paul Scholes was not impressed with the result

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes continues to be underwhelmed by his old side and hit out at their lacklustre performance in Wednesday night's 0-0 draw with PSV.

The 41-year-old, working as a pundit for BT Sport's coverage of the Champions League, said that United were 'a million miles' away from possessing the same attacking verve as the likes of Barcelona or Bayern Munich; and criticised striker Anthony Martial in particular.

Scholes added: 'He doesn't look bothered if he misses a chance. He doesn't look bothered if he scores a goal. As a centre forward, all you live for is scoring goals, all you want to do is score goals.

'He doesn't look like one of those players to me and maybe they need to go into the transfer market in January for one of them.'

Martial, who became the world's most expensive teenage footballer when he joined the Red Devils from Monaco for £36million in the summer, had two decent opportunities in the first-half; the first when the ball broke to him in the box and the second following a smart turn from 15 yards, but on both occasions he was denied by PSV goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet.

United will qualify for the Champions League knockout stages if they can beat Wolfsburg in their final group game on December 8, but Scholes isn't holding his breath.

'They have a chance against Wolfsburg but I wouldn't be relying on that,' he groaned.

While the result at Old Trafford confirmed United's 12th clean sheet of the season so far, it was also their fifth goalless draw.

The lack of a cutting edge has themed Scholes' assessments of the team for some time now and after the latest stalemate was no exception.

He said: 'There was a real lack of quality in the final third. You can defend as well as you want but if you don't have those forward players who can create a bit of magic, then you're going to struggle.

'You look at these teams across Europe, your Barcas and your Bayerns. It's your forwards that make the difference.'
