But his criticism got under the skin of one irked Red Devils squad member.

Asked whether players react to comments made by pundits, Scholes revealed on The OverlapFanDebate via Sky Bet one unnamed United man took matters into his own hands.

He said: “Players can be a little bit touchy these days.

“I had a player this year, who contacted me and wasn’t happy with some of the things I’d said.

“He wanted to meet me at the training ground, and I said, ‘Of course, no problem,' and gave him my number but he never got back to me.

“I would have done it. If I’m saying things I believe and he wants me to explain why, it wouldn’t have been a nice conversation, but I said if they or anyone else has a problem, there’s my phone number.”;

THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
