Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has responded to backlash after he relayed claims from Jesse Lingard that the Red Devils’ dressing room is a "disaster"
The 47-year-old made the comments after United had fallen to a 3-1 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium - a reverse that appears to have put paid to their hopes of finishing in the Champions League places. Speaking after the defeat in north London, Scholes said on DAZN: “It’s an absolute mess. It’s a disaster of a dressing room. I had a quick chat with Jesse [Lingard] the other day. I’m sure he won’t mind me saying. He said, ‘the dressing room is just a disaster’.”
Scholes has since received considerable criticism for the comments, some claiming that he should not have shared such information from a confidential conversation. He has since revealed he has spoken with Lingard - the source of the apparent information - but declined to offer details of their latest chat.
