Former Manchester United coach Mick Clegg has revealed that legendary midfielder Paul Scholes 'hated' playing for England.
The Premier League winner was embroiled in a battle for a place in the Three Lions' midfield alongside Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard. But weeks after England were knocked out of Euro 2004 by Portugal on penalties, he announced his retirement from international football.
"I had a kettle in the gym so that I didn’t have to keep nipping up to the canteen for a brew," Clegg said, as reported by the Mirror. " Scholsey was always telling me to put the kettle on and one day we were having a chat about the Euros that summer.
