Leeds United legend Johnny Giles has launched a furious attack on Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.
Giles was angered by Mourinho's blast for Paul Scholes after the United legend's criticism of Paul Pogba.
He wrote for the Irish Independent: "He must be desperate indeed to go hunting a club legend in the media, particularly one like Scholes who had few words to say during his career and did all his talking on the pitch.
"Now, he is employed to offer his opinions on football and in this case, Paul Pogba's usefulness to Manchester United and Mourinho is taking the criticism to heart.
"No surprise there. Mourinho pinned his hat on Pogba when he gave him a billing as the most complete midfielder in the world.
"It was a foolish statement for Mourinho to make and I said so at the time simply because it wasn't true. Pogba is not a complete midfielder and that hasn't changed.
"In fact, I would agree with most of the comments I've seen from Scholes on Pogba which are broadly in line with what many have been saying on the subject.
"But Mourinho's response was despicable. He suggested that Scholes was in some way envious of Pogba because of the money he earned. Very nasty indeed."
