Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels today's England players are pampered.

Scholes made his comments in an unusually outspoken interview with United fanzine Red News.

"The England team these days are treated like world superstars from what they do at club level," he said.

"I don't think that helps when they go to England (duty) because they're all mollycoddled and pampered.

"They're treated like they're world champions before actually being a successful team to do that.

"The England manager changes that often there can never be that stability and I think managers just go out for the England job for the money these days."
