Mino Raiola blasts Paul Scholes over Paul Pogba criticism with Winston Churchill jibe on Twitter, as Gary Neville weighs in
Old Trafford favourite Paul Scholes comes under fire from Paul Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, following criticism of the French midfielder
Paul Pogba’s agent, Mino Raiola, has hit out at Manchester United legend Paul Scholes over his criticism of the midfielder in a spectacular rant on social media.
The Italian posted two incendiary tweets on Tuesday as he stepped up his war of words with Scholes, who gave a withering assessment of Pogba’s display in the shock 3-2 defeat by Brighton on Sunday.
“Some people need to talk for fear of being forgotten,” Raiola wrote. “Paul Scholes wouldn’t recognise a leader if he was in front of Sir Winston Churchill.”
Raiola also included Pogba’s Twitter handle at the end of the tweet. He followed it up with another volley for the 43-year-old Scholes, an 11-time Premier League winner with United.
“Paul Scholes should become sports director and advise [executive vice-chairman Ed] Woodward to sell Pogba,” he wrote. “Would be sleepless nights to find Pogba a new club.”
