Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba's agent has hit out at Paul Scholes after the former player criticised his client, with the club's fans reacting to the outburst.
The Manchester United legend said Pogba 'lacked leadership' qualities and was 'inconsistent' in his displays, having had a 'poor game'. Super agent Mino Raiola though didn't take kindly to the assessment and hit back at Scholes, tweeting his displeasure at the eleven time Premier League winner.
Raiola described Scholes' comments as an attempt to stay relevant, with the former midfielder not having the capability to 'recognise a leader'. Manchester United fan Ian Sarginson was quick to respond to the tweet as he doubted Raiola's footballing knowledge.

Some people need to talk for of being forgotten. Paul Scho wouldn’t recognize a leader i was in front of Sir Winston Churchill. @paulpogba

Edwin Ambrose though took to Twitter war even further by saying Scholes has better hair than Pogba and is certainly someone who recognises leaders on the park.

Even rival fans came out in support, with Manchester City fan Levets rating the Englishman 'couple of levels above' the French star. Liverpool fan Mohammed Idris too showcased his support for towards their former tormentor.
Meanwhile, Melchizedek had a different viewpoint and took Raiola's side in the debate.
