Paul Scholes has given his verdict on the spat between Nemanja Matic and Andre Onana - and suggested both players were in the wrong.

'I don’t think it was something I would have done, try and provoke a team by saying you ae better than them,' Scholes said on TNT Sports of Onana's comments. 'It’s not wise, but they have to perform.

'Matic overreacted slightly, it was a bit aggressive, but I don’t mind a bit of needle.'

Karen Carney added: 'I am gutted he’s not starting but Onana has to step up and make sure he comes away with a clean sheet, he went up to check the net and fans were giving him stick, he needs a solid performance to back it up.
