Former England international Paul Scholes has criticised Premier League clubs for not providing opportunities to home-grown youngsters in their youth setups.

Scholes believes that clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal have flooded their academies with foreign talent and that's impacting the prospects of England national team.

Scholes told BBC Radio Manchester: "You look at Under 16s, Under 17s and it's absolutely riddled with foreign players. What chance does that give to young English players? It gives them virtually no chance.

"You look at Chelsea and Arsenal's youth teams and you do well to spot an English player. It's really sad. There are hardly any players to play for us.

"It's nowhere near what it should be and you can see why we struggle."
