And just as some gathered from that exchange that the former Manchester United midfielder wasn’t in the mood for any inane b**ter with Humphrey, many are assuming from Scholes’ notes that he isn’t impressed with Jose Mourinho.
The United legend and Owen were on punditry duty for Fenerbahce’s 2-1 win over Mourinho’s side in the Europa League on Thursday night.
Scholes made his feelings pretty clear on the mess that is United at the moment following the game. ”
“We have had a painful three years,” Scholes said about his former club.
“The next 18 months to two years could be very similar until this manager gets the team he wants.”
However, that wasn’t enough for some, who sought to gain an insight into what Scholes really thinks about the situation at United by dissecting the details of his notes on the team sheets for the game.
If you said there was nothing to see here, just doodles and scribbles, the likes of which we were all guilty of when bored off our arses in school, you’d be very wrong.
No, this doodle shows Scholes has no time for Jose, and he thinks Marcos Rojo is either a “big worry” or a “big wimp.”
According to some on social media, anyway.

While it’s clear from Scholes’ notes that he considers Rojo to be unfit to play for United, and he’s plotting a coup against Mourinho, Owen’s err, ‘notes’, aren’t quite as easy to decipher.
The former Liverpool and United striker attempted to phonetically spell the surname of Simon Kjær, the Fenerbahce defender.
He also drew his own initials in block letters, alongside an exclamation mark, a wizard’s wand, a banana, what appears to be an arrow, and a strawberry with a face.

his doodles are more entertaining than his commentary/punditry
