'I said 'I'm coming for Paul Scholes' England shirt" and he goes out and scores a hat-trick the next day'

Former England midfielder Kieron Dyer has used an old article about Manchester United ace Paul Scholes as an example to warn players against doing controversial interviews before important matches.

The Three Lions face off against France in the World Cup quarter-finals on Saturday night, with Gareth Southgate's side having cruised past Senegal in the Round of 16. Meanwhile, Les Bleus - who overcame Poland in their last-16 tie - will be hoping that talisman Kylian Mbappe continues in the same rich vein of form.

The Paris Saint-Germain man has scored five goals in four matches in Qatar and is currently the top goalscorer at the tournament. His teammates have been keen to warn England about the threat the attacker poses ahead of the crunch match at the weekend.
