And Scholes was begrudging in his praise of Jurgen Klopp’s side.

“I’m sick of being so nice about Liverpool (laughs),” Scholes told Amazon Prime.

“They couldn’t cope with the press of Liverpool. They’re not the first team to not be able to cope with it, the last 60-odd teams haven’t been able to cope with it.

“Liverpool weren’t at their absolute brilliant best, but the goals, the three forward players, Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson, there’s some really special players.”

On Wijnaldum, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, Scholes said:“Why would he want to leave this place?

“With the way this team are playing, he’s playing every week.

“I know there was a bit of talk about Barcelona, but it never came off. Why would you want to leave a football club like this? I think they’ll win the league again and it’s just an exciting team to play in.

“It’s definitely a better option here. I think he could be a Barcelona player, don’t get me wrong – I think he could fit into their ways, but they’re struggling, so why leave a place like this?

“Barcelona’s a massive club and the Dutch connection is always gonna be big there, and with Koeman as manager – for how much longer, who knows? You can see that being a temptation for him, but why would you leave such an exciting team?”
