Jose Mourinho took a swipe at Paul Scholes and other critics after Manchester United got back to winning ways with a 2-0 victory at Everton. Former United midfielder Scholes recently said while working as a TV pundit that Pogba was just strolling through games and doesn't look fit.

But Pogba played an influential role as United ended a run of three successive Premier League draws at Goodison Park on New Year's Day Mourinho said: "I think the only thing Paul Scholes does is to criticise, which is a different thing. Not every one of us has to be phenomenal like he was as a player. That doesn't all mean we have to be phenomenal. Paul tries to do his best all the time and sometimes he plays very well. Sometimes he doesn't play so well.

It's not Paul's fault that he made much more money than Paul Scholes. It's not Paul Pogba's fault, it's just the way football is. But I think Scholes will be in the history (as) a phenomenal player, but not as a pundit. I prefer to look at him as a phenomenal player that gives so much to the club I am proud to represent. Every day I try to do my best. If one day Paul decides to be a manager, I wish he can be 25 per cent as successful as myself. Fifty per cent is 12-and-a-half silverware, 25 per cent is around six (trophies). If he is 25 per cent he will be quite happy."
