Scholes criticises ‘myth’ surrounding his punditry
Paul Scholes says it is a “myth” that he has suddenly found his voice since becoming a football pundit.
During his 20-year playing career at Manchester United, Scholes tended to shy away from the limelight, opting not to partake in many interviews.
Since his retirement in 2013 however, the 42-year-old has been a vocal pundit on BT Sport and ITV, and was quite a vocal critic of Louis van Gaal’s Old Trafford reign in particular.
But in an interview with The Republik of Mancunia, the former midfielder claims that it is a “myth” that he has only just found his voice.
“I did every interview that I was supposed to. Whenever I had to do it, I did it,” he said.
“Yeah, it’s a bit of a myth. Okay, I didn’t do it loads but I just did what I had to do, I didn’t go and do stuff.
“I just did stuff I had to do – club stuff, MUTV, loads of that, and that was the way it was.”
