'He screamed like a big baby': Paul Scholes slams Didier Deschamps for his reaction to Manchester United star's tackle that saw him pick up a yellow card and miss the 1999 Champions League final

Paul Scholes says Didier Deschamps 'screamed like a big baby' in the tackle that cost the Manchester United star a Champions League final appearance in 1999.

Scholes picked up the booking in the semi-final second leg against Juventus, where United came from behind to win 3-2 and book their spot in the final against Bayern Munich.

United would go on to win 2-1 in dramatic last minute circumstances in Barcelona, but both Scholes and captain Roy Keane were suspended for picking up yellow cards in that memorable tussle in Turin.
