Super agent Mino Raiola has hit out at Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.

Scholes was critical of Raiola's client, Paul Pogba, for defeat at Brighton and questioned the decision to give the Frenchman the captaincy.

Raiola rapped Scholes on social media this morning.

The Italian snapped: "Paul Scholes is expected to become a sporting director and should advise (Ed) Woodward (executive vice-chairman) to sell Paul Pogba.

"Would be sleepless nights to find Pogba a new club. Some people need to talk for fear of being forgotten. Paul Scholes would not recognise a leader if he was in front of Sir Winston Churchill."
