Jose Mourinho had plenty to say about Paul Scholes' criticism of Paul Pogba but it was a diatribe that everyone could have done without
In case you missed it, Manchester United won on Monday. They started 2018 with a bang, overcoming a difficult run of results by beating Everton 2-0 at Goodison Park. But given the way Jose Mourinho ranted his way into the headlines straight after the game by calling out Paul Scholes you would be forgiven for having forgotten of United’s win.
Scholes had questioned Paul Pogba’s performance in the 0-0 draw against Southampton two days earlier, using his platform as a BT Sport pundit to ask whether the Frenchman has been doing the kinds of things he should be doing for the Manchester United cause since returning from Juventus in August 2016.
