PAUL SCHOLES has questioned Jack Wilshere's decision to leave Arsenal on loan for Bournemouth
The 24-year-old will spend the season at the Vitality Stadium under Eddie Howe in a bid to get his career back on track after several injury disrupted seasons.
But while Wilshere insisted Bournemouth was 'the best place for him', Scholes disagreed.
The former Man Utd midfielder believes the Gunner should be playing for one of the bigger clubs in England.
Scholes said: "Just because he is going to Bournemouth, doesn't mean he is going to play all the time.
"He has to perform whatever club you are at, whether you are at Bournemouth, Arsenal, Man United or Roma.
"You still have to perform to play first team football. I'm sure there are other players at Bournemouth who are saying 'I'm going to be playing instead of Jack - I want his place'.
"It always comes back to whether he is fit. I don't know how his ankles are - I know he struggles with them.
"If he stays fit then there is no doubt he is the top player there. But he should be playing for a top three or four club in England and that is what he should be aiming for. I just worry a little that he has set his sights too low."
