Paul Scholes disclosed that Arsenal outcast Mesut Ozil would be a good short term midfield solution for goal shy Manchester United.

United ended an 11-match winless run on their travels with a 1-0 Europa League victory at Partizan Belgrade on Thursday.

Anthony Martial’s match-winning penalty was their only attempt on target in Belgrade, having also failed to register a single effort from open play in their goalless draw with AZ earlier this month

Ozil was again left out of Arsenal’s matchday squad for the 3-2 win over Vitoria SC on Thursday, meanwhile, and has been used just twice in all competitions this season.

United legend Scholes believes his former side could benefit from signing a player of Ozil’s quality.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men have failed to score more than once in 12 games since the 4-0 thrashing of Chelsea in their opening game of the season, leaving Scholes to question their lack of creativity.

United return to Premier League action on Sunday with a trip to Norwich City.
