Even the prospect of a Cristiano Ronaldo return can’t stop Paul Scholes taking a swipe at Louis van Gaal

Still at it

Conan Doherty

Paul Scholes in Louis van Gaal complaint shocker.

We’ve all accepted it, Paul Scholes is nearly a mouthpiece at this stage. That Paul Scholes.

The guy who acquitted himself with such reservation throughout a beautiful football career. He just let his feet do the talking then.

We’re glad he doesn’t do that now though because, let’s face it, he’s a pundit. And the alternative is Michael Owen.

When it comes to the current United manager though, Scholes continues to have a go and, even as the BT Sport lads debated who would you rather have, Bale or Ronaldo, on Fletch and Sav (Jesus, what a crap name for a show), Scholes couldn’t even get enthused about the prospect of either in the United team.

Simply because he can’t see them getting the ball under van Gaal’s regime.
