The Red Devils boss is yet to deliver any silverware since he took charge of the club back in December 2018.
Despite backing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for a new contract, Paul Scholes is concerned by the lack of silverware at Manchester United.
The English giants are at risk of going through a fourth successive season without a single trophy. The Europa League represents their best chance this term, as Premier League leaders Manchester City sit 14 points above the second-placed side in the standings.

According to the latest reports, it seems Solskjaer has done enough to earn a three-year extension to his current contract, which expires in June 2022.
“I think he probably deserves it. There’s been progress from the manager before,” former United teammate Scholes said on the Webby & O’Neill YouTube channel.
“I think the team looks a lot better, it’s much more exciting, there’s goals in the team – which you always expect from a United team, anyway.
“I think the only problem is: win something. It’s a little bit of a worry. Losing the [FA Cup] quarter-final to Leicester, it wasn’t good.
“For fans especially, the Europa League was tough in Milan, I thought players looked a little bit jaded – [Bruno] Fernandes especially.
“He probably did need the rest against Leicester, but on the other hand, I don’t think United are in a position to rest people for the big games.
“I think they have 12 or 13 players that are good enough to go and win a lot of games. Is the squad then deep enough when you’re leaving these big players out to go on and win the bigger games?”
