He has more quality than Baleba – Scholes names midfielder Man Utd should sign

Manchester United legend, Paul Scholes has named the midfielder his old club should sign ahead of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

Baleba has been linked with a move to Man United, but Scholes wants the Red Devils to sign Adam Wharton from Crystal Palace instead of the 21-year-old Cameroonian.

According to Scholes, Wharton has more quality than Baleba, who he compared with Chelsea’s Moises Caicedo

“Baleba is very young. Quality-wise, is he quite there? I think he is almost in a Caicedo type of way,” Scholes told Sky Sports.

“But is that the type of player Manchester United need? I’m not sure.

“Adam Wharton is, again, a really good player. Can he get around the pitch? Old Trafford’s a big pitch.

“I’d probably say I’d go for Wharton. I think he is got more quality than Baleba. It is close between Elliot Anderson and Wharton. I would just pick Wharton.”
