Paul Scholes Rips Into Paul Pogba After Sending-Off

Paul Scholes Rips Into Paul Pogba After Sending-Off

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes had some harsh words for Paul Pogba after his sending-off against Liverpool on Sunday.

The France midfielder started on the bench for the second game in a row, but was introduced with the Red Devils trailing Liverpool 4-0 at the start of the second half.

Pogba lost possession of the ball in the build-up to the Reds' fifth goal before his evening came to an end on the hour mark, when he was shown a red card for a dangerous challenge on Naby Keita, drawing the ire of United icon Scholes.

"Paul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half-time to try to help the team and maybe get a little respectability about it, tries to stand on the ball, tries to show how strong he is in the middle of the pitch… gives the goal away," Scholes told Premier League Productions.

"Then later on gets sent off with a ridiculous tackle, now you're 5-0 down with 10 men. You'd have to think, if Ole's still a manager there, will we see Pogba again in a United shirt?

"He's caused mayhem over the last couple of years. Everyone knows what a talent he is, everybody trusts him, every manager trusts him, tried to give him his head and let him be the player he's been.

"But with all the commotion, not signing his contract, almost holding the club to ransom, and then he comes on and does something like that.

"It's not Ole's fault, don't get me wrong, but that's part of it which almost summed the United performance up today.

"Look, he probably will play [again], won't he? But I don't think they will be missing anything if he doesn't.

"He's had numerous chances, he keeps saying he lacks consistency, but that is just [a lack of] discipline and disrespect for your manager and your teammates, what he's done today."
