Manchester United hero Patrice Evra has told former teammate Paul Scholes to wind his neck in.

Scholes is currently holidaying in Dubai, where he met up with his old Red Devils teammate Dwight Yorke.

Posting a picture with Yorke on to his Instagram account, Scholes said: "Now this is a centre forward, good to see you @officialdwightyorke."

For many, Scholes was having a dig at new United signing Odion Ighalo.

Evra was quick to spot the remark, and replied: "Why you have to mention is a centre forward? Stop throwing too many bombs Scholesy."

The Frenchman included laughing and love heart emojis in his post, to show he was only joking with his ex-teammate, but his message was clear all the same.
