Jose Mourinho roasting Paul Scholes is still one of football’s most brutal press conferences

Jose Mourinho has aimed fire at countless individuals in football throughout his colourful managerial career.

Pep Guardiola, Lionel Messi, Antonio Conte, Luke Shaw, Frank de Boer are just some of the people who’ve been on the receiving end of Mourinho’s savage tongue over the years.

Someone else who’s experienced the full force of Mourinho’s wrath is Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

Back in January 2018, Mourinho called Scholes out after the Premier League legend accused Paul Pogba of “just strolling through games”.

Following a 0-0 draw against Southampton, Scholes said on BT Sport: “Where is the Paul Pogba we saw at Juventus?

“He was all over the pitch, he was battling, he was tackling, he was sprinting to people, he was scoring goals from 25 yards out.

“He is just strolling through games.”

Scholes added: “Pogba doesn't look fit, I wonder whether he is training properly.

“He does not look like a player who will win you games and that is what you pay £90m for.

“No one in England should be getting near him, but he is being asked to do a role he is not comfortable in.

“You have to say the manager has to take responsibility for that.

“Is the manager sending them out not playing the way they want to play? I don't know.”
