| Paul Scholes disappointed with Bastian Schweinsteiger's style of play |
MANCHESTER UNITED legend Paul Scholes has been disappointed with the form of Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The German World Cup winner arrived at Old Trafford from Bayern Munich in the summer and has featured in all but one of United's games in all competitions.
But Scholes believes the 31-year-old is failing to create enough chances for the strikers, with United scoring the least amount of goals in the Premier League's top seven.
The retired midfielder claims Schweinsteiger is too cautious in possession and has a tendency to pass back to his defenders.
Scholes, who made 718 appearances for the Red Devils, said: "You expect more from Schweinsteiger, a player who’s won the World Cup and the Champions League.
"The biggest art as a midfield player is to find space, not in your back four, in the centre of the park where it’s most congested, and contribute to your forward players.
"There are too many passes before getting into the final third, which is why the forwards like Wayne Rooney have struggled. They don’t get the service.

"The two central midfielders play 10 yards behind the centre-halves and play easy passes.
"I don’t mind that, getting a bit of space if you’re going to play it forward or hit a long pass, but he takes too many touches and he’s constantly coming back inside.
"Schweinsteiger claps a back-pass to the goalkeeper and he plays every week, so the manager must be happy with the way they play."
