I think with Scholes been the quality player he is, you don't really need a Litnamen type player - especially when Butt also seems to play a similar role.
Scholes just seems lost with a role that doesn't seem to have been defined properly. With Fergie's formation, he doesn't seem to know if he's a forward playing just behind the main striker or a striker that is playing forward of the midfield - if you know what I mean.
I reckon you need more a holding type midfielder in the Dietmar Hamann role - someone who will direct the play and ensure the midfield keeps its shape a bit more.

And certainly another striker, because RVN is not going to have a season like he did last year all the time.[B/]
Give him the chances and RVN will get the goals.
But if Fergie is so insistent on playing that 4-1-2-1-2 formation than a defensive midfield general is more what you need. Just my opinion.
Looked to me that Fergie was using a 4-4-2 formation on Saturday.
