Paul Scholes has warned against Manchester United spending £34million on Luke Shaw as he would rather the club spend that amount of money on a striker who would score 30 goals a season.
In his latest Paddy Power blog, the Red Devils legend lamented England's World Cup performance - highlighting the damage the influx of foreign players has had on the Premier League detrimentally.
The 39-year-old has baulked at the Premier League's influx of foreign players - labelling England's top flight as a 'cash cow' - as prices of young English talent continue to inflate and therefore stifling their opportunities to develop as club's opt for cheaper foreign imports.
The 39-year-old cites the value of Shaw as evidence of premium prices on homegrown stars and would rather United spend that money on a top-class forward.
'The proposed £34m transfer for the 18-year-old Luke Shaw to Manchester United is another example of something which has a bad long-term impact,' he said.
'Clubs are priced out of this market which is why they go abroad for cheap options - they're not better players.
'For a left-back to be worth £34m shows how silly the game has gone. For that money I want a centre-forward who's going to score 30 goals a season.'
