Scholes questions whether McNair, Blackett will make it at Man Utd

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has had a dig at the club's young players.

Scholes has also questioned whether the likes of Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett will be at Manchester United in the long run of if they are just stop-gaps.

He wrote in the Independent: "The FA Youth Cup is just one way of taking the temperature of a club's academy. United have a fantastic history in producing players and there will always be boys who will want to come to the club.

"The issue is whether they are good enough for the first team. Some of the current lads who have been promoted, such as Paddy McNair and Tyler Blackett, have benefited from an injury crisis but will they be there in the long term? James Wilson clearly has a chance of making the grade."
