Newcastle fans fume at 'arrogant and classless' Paul Scholes over reaction to claims that Eddie Howe 'deserves a statue' for Carabao Cup success

Newcastle fans have labelled Paul Scholes as 'arrogant' and 'classless' after his reaction to a suggestion that Eddie Howe deserves a 'statue' at the club.

The Magpies secured a historic 2-1 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final, in which Geordie defender Dan Burn and star striker Alexander Isak were on target.

The victory at Wembley marked the end of Newcastle's 70-year trophy drought and resulted in Magpies fans partying late into the night to celebrate the occasion.

Now, there are suggestions that Howe is entitled to a statue at the club for his role in the triumph - however Man United legend Scholes brutally shot them down.
