Less talk, more action! Why is Mourinho wasting his time arguing with Scholes over Pogba?

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.
