"He's coming out in press conferences, he's constantly having a go at players, he's having a go at people above him because he's not getting what he wants.

The former England midfielder had another opportunity to criticise Mourinho's team and the manager's tactics. However, much like the game itself, Scholes appeared to think that doing so was ultimately pointless.

Scholes claim is striking when one considers how compelling United's European matches once were.

Back on BT Sport, Rio Ferdinand took issue with Mourinho's comments about United's defenders.
The former Chelsea boss effectively said that his side didn't string any patterns of play together during the match because their central defenders are not of the required standard to build from the back.

And, over on RTE, Liam Brady said that he doesn't see any future for Mourinho at Old Trafford.
