Paul Scholes has questioned whether Manchester United's summer signings have made them stronger after seeing another poor start to the season under Erik ten Hag.
Rio Ferdinand lists issue that is stopping him from declaring Manchester United transfer window a success

Rio Ferdinand will need to see the impact Rasmus Hojlund makes before being fully happy with Manchester United's summer transfer business.
United welcomed seven players through the door in a record-breaking window, spending almost £200million after a busy deadline day saw three arrivals. Altay Bayindir joined in a £4.3m deal from Fenerbahce, while Sergio Reguilon and Sofyan Amrabat joined on loan from Tottenham and Fiorentina respectively - the latter receiving a €10m loan fee.

The Danish striker cost United £72m and has already been tipped by Ferdinand as the deciding factor in the success of the summer.

Hojlund looks set to make his debut at the Emirates on Sunday after being involved in full first-team training all week. The 20-year-old's attacking threat is much-needed, given none of United's forwards have scored yet this season.
