Paul Scholes the manager – what can we expect from Mourinho’s biggest critic?

As a player, Paul Scholes was known for being a quiet man. While Manchester United contemporaries such as David Beckham, Lee Sharpe and Ryan Giggs became front-page news at various stages of their careers, the midfielder rarely put a foot out of line away from the field.
