Paul Scholes released a massive sonar blast in the direction of Paul Pogba in the wake of Manchester United\u2019s colossally humilitiaing 5-0 trouncing at the hands of their most bitter rivals Liverpool at the Theater of Dreams last Sunday, which was hardly the day of benedictions for the old faithful of Old Trafford. Apparently, his brutal, lacerated comments have apparently hit the target spot on.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils were thoroughly humiliated by their bitter traditional rivals from Anfield in the Premier League last Sunday in front of an anxious home crowd at Old Trafford but the thunderous dark clouds that accompanied Liverpool to the Theater of Dreams rained heaps on the United parade. And former World Cup winner Pogba\u2019s crude behavior, self-centeredness and total lack of etiquette on the pitch certainly didn\u2019t help matters after having been brought on as a second-half substitute. Within a mere 15 minutes of his appearance on the pitch, the self-flagellating midfielder was flashed a red card for a horror tackle on Naby Keita to further exacerbate his side\u2019s dilemma. And he was actually caught flashing an arrogant, disdainful smile on his face immediately after having been shown the red flag.<\/p>\n
GQ report that the United star had earlier been specifically instructed not to do anything \u2018stupid\u2019 before he stupidly in careless dalliance and abandonment lost the ball that nonetheless led to the fifth goal for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side \u2013 before being sent off subsequently for his lunging a two-footed tackle on Naby Keita.<\/p>\n
Scholes during his insightful and unsparing analysis of the game for Premier League Productions , tore into the midfielder, claimed that he had been \u201cdisrespectful\u201d to his teammates, questioning whether he would\/should wear the United shirt again under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.<\/p>\n
The legendary ex-United playmaker lamented: \u201cPaul Pogba coming on to the pitch at half-time to try and 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\u2026 gives the goal away.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen later on gets sent off with a ridiculous tackle. Now you\u2019re 5-0 down with 10 men.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019d have to think, if Ole\u2019s still a manager there, will we see Pogba again in a United shirt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Although it is undeniable that the France international\u2019s does possess quality in some key areas, his equally undismissable sense of self-preservation and selfishness are further compounded by the lack of clarity on his own future, made even worse by persistent comments from his controversial agent Mino Raiola off the pitch, alongside the midfielder\u2019s inconsistent performances on it.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old is now in the final year of his contract with the club and Scholes has seemingly had enough of the proceedings enveloping the player.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s caused mayhem over the last couple of years,\u201d the player-turned-pundit stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone 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\u2019s been.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut with all the commotion, not signing his contract, almost holding the club to ransom. Then he comes on and does something like that.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not Ole\u2019s fault, don\u2019t get me wrong. But that\u2019s part of it which almost summed the United performance up today,\u201d Scholes admitted before drawing back on his previous question.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, he probably will play [again] won\u2019t he? But I don\u2019t think they will be missing anything if he doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s had numerous chances, he keeps saying he lacks consistency, but that is just [a lack of] discipline and disrespect for your manager and your team-mates, what he\u2019s done today.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s always so heartwarming and augurs well for the well-being and future of this great game when the true heroes and legends of yesteryear speak candidly, without fear or favor, even as today\u2019s representatives of the sport as pundits providing their helpful insights into the nuances of the sport.<\/p>\n
