Jose Mourinho and Paul Scholes were embroiled in a bitter spat while the Special One managed Manchester United, with the latter continually critiquing the legendary Portuguese
Few choose to retaliate, let alone engage in a full-blown war of words, particularly when managing one of the world's biggest clubs. Enter Jose Mourinho , the Special One, or rather, the Moody One, as he appeared increasingly agitated towards the end of his tenure as Manchester United manager.
No one was more critical than Red Devils legend Paul Scholes. Throughout the remainder of Mourinho's tenure, until his sacking in December 2018, the retired midfielder and United boss became embroiled in a very public feud. "He was a phenomenal player - that doesn't mean we all have to be phenomenal. Pogba tries his best all the time and sometimes he plays very well, sometimes he doesn't play so well. It's not Pogba's fault that he made much more money than Paul Scholes.
"The most important thing to him is results. Last year was a disappointing year, not to win a trophy. The way they performed in the league wasn't at the standard required. Every year when Manchester United don't win something, it's a disaster.” Scholes suddenly seemed to change his stance on Mourinho, then 55, backing him to turn things around just days later after a defeat against Juventus in the Champions League group stages. He stated: "No I wouldn't change him. He has the experience to turn it around. The last couple of weeks he's been different. His attitude has been better towards players."
