Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United's board to spend the money required to bolster their attack this summer, insisting Jadon Sancho would have made a huge difference against Sevilla.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is keen for United to sign Sancho but Borussia Dortmund are adamant the player will not be leaving Westphalia this summer.
Solskjaer waited until the 87th minute to make his first substitution against Sevilla as they surrendered an early lead to go out in Cologne.
With a stark contrast in quality between United's first-choice forward line and their back-up options underlined against the La Liga side, Scholes has urged the United board to release the funds necessary to sign world-class forwards, such as Sancho.
“I don’t think they played badly tonight, I think they played well against a really good Sevilla team," Scholes told BT Sport.
"But that 15-20 minutes after half-time with all those chances, you’ve got to score them. We’re talking about quality, about spending money on centre-forwards and wide players, you’re talking hundred of millions these days to get these players, but these are the players that win you trophies, win you medals.
"I know all of this Sancho thing is going on, but they need to start spending money. If they want to win trophies, you’ve got to start spending the money.
"Okay, they created the chances tonight, but if Sancho is in that team tonight, I think United are scoring.”
