Paul Scholes has joked Jose Mourinho will now be managing a
'proper club' as he prepares to take charge of Manchester United.
Mourinho will be named as Louis van Gaal's successor
later this week after the Dutchman's turbulent two-year reign was brought to an end on
Monday.
The former Chelsea, Inter Milan, Porto
and Real Madrid boss has won major honours with every one of the teams he
has managed, but Scholes say he must bring entertaining football - as well as silverware - back to
Old Trafford to win over the fans.
Asked if he will be a good fit for United, the club's
legendary former midfielder told talkSPORT: "Who knows?
"We all thought Van Gaal was a good fit two years ago
and it didn't quite happen for him. Mourinho has obviously managed big
clubs before. Now he has come to a proper big club and there is expectation
there.
"He has messed around with these Mickey Mouse clubs
- Real, Madrid, Chelsea and Inter Milan - and
now it looks like he is coming to a proper football club. I'm only joking, of
course!
"He has managed big clubs and he has got a track record
of winning trophies. United should be challenging for trophies but it is the
style of football that has been the big problem for the last two years and if
he can get players in that are likely to entertain then the fans will be
happy."
