In an Instagram story, a written message from Scholes stated: "Michael has definitely got something about him...cos United have been crap last 4 games...night." Many interpreted Scholes' remarks as an attack on Carrick, who has presided over a significant upturn in form since replacing Ruben Amorim. Among those taken aback was Patrice Evra, with the former United left-back suggesting he hoped Scholes had been 'hacked'. I don't think I needed to say that anyway, and he told me himself he wasn't upset by it. I don't think it was the 10 men, we just didn't play good enough and we can't make excuses."
