‘SELL HIM IN JANUARY!’: Paul Scholes Goes Nuclear on Live European TV in Furious Old Trafford Outburst
MANCHESTER — Paul Scholes produced one of the most explosive rants in modern European broadcasting history on Tuesday night, launching a scathing attack on Manchester United’s culture and high-priced stars just moments before kickoff against AS Roma at Old Trafford.
Analyzing the team sheets ahead of United’s crucial UEFA Champions League Matchday 4 clash, the former Red Devils midfielder completely lost his temper on live television. With manager Michael Carrick under severe pressure following a dismal winless streak in all competitions, Scholes unleashed a blistering tirade directed at the club’s record signing, who was dropped to the bench for tonight’s tie.
‘Soft, Sulking, and Lacking Pride’
Speaking in the pitchside studio as the rain lashed down over the Old Trafford pitch, Scholes gestured furiously toward the substitutes’ bench where United’s marquee summer acquisition sat bundled up in club apparel.
> “I am sick and tired of the excuses being made for him!” Scholes snapped, his voice trembling with visible rage as fellow pundits looked on in stunned silence. “You are playing Roma in the Champions League, and your most expensive player is sitting on the bench sulking with his hood up!
> “If he had any pride for this jersey, he would be out there demanding the ball. But the truth is he’s soft, he doesn’t want the pressure, and I hope the club sells him the moment the January window opens.”

Pressure Mounts on Carrick’s Struggling Side
The rant comes at a perilous moment in United’s season. Carrick’s side sits a lowly 20th in the expanded Champions League league phase, having suffered a humiliation against Como in their last European outing and struggling defensively with 13 goals conceded across their previous six matches.
MANCHESTER UNITED — LAST 5 RESULTS (ALL COMPETITIONS)
——————————————————
• vs Chelsea (A) LOST 1-2 [Premier League]
• vs Como (A) LOST 0-3 [Champions League]
• vs Brighton (H) DRAW 1-1 [Premier League]
• vs Tottenham (A) LOST 0-2 [Premier League]
• vs Liverpool (H) DRAW 2-2 [Premier League]
With Gian Piero Gasperini’s flying AS Roma side sitting high in Serie A and dominating possession metrics in Europe this campaign, United face an uphill battle to keep their European knockout qualification hopes alive. But Scholes’ scathing commentary has ensured that, regardless of tonight’s result on the pitch, a massive storm is brewing inside the Old Trafford dressing room heading into the winter transfer window.
