'Mission accomplished… a***d!' Manchester United legend Paul Scholes backs the club's decision to split with Cristiano Ronaldo in blunt social media post

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes didn't appear to be upset by the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

It followed his bombshell interview with Piers Morgan last week when he criticised the club, the Glazers, manager Erik ten Hag and his team-mates.
