Manchester United great Paul Scholes has urged the club to be more active in the local community.

While Scholes admits there is probably no going back for the Glazers, there are some ways in which they can look to make amends with the fans and the city.

"I think it's gone past anything that the Glazers can do now because it's that long," he said on BT Sport after United beat Roma to reach the final of the Europa League.

“They were so disappointed, the club going into massive debt and the lack of communication is a big problem."

When asked what the next step was, Scholes replied: "They need to put something back into the community, it's not really happened. The stadium is looking old, the stadium is looking tired.

“And to make things worse, you look across at Manchester City and I mentioned this last week, the East side of Manchester was a really rough part of Manchester.

"You go around now and it's fantastic, they've got an amazing training ground, they've got the stadium, they're building houses.

“They've regenerated the whole area. There's such a difference in clubs."
