"Michael has definitely got something special about him...cos Utd have been crap last four games. Everyone was saying is Scholesy drunk has he had a few too many to drink. I actually texted him and said 'what's going on?' But Scholesy is Scholesy. He said 'listen I said he's special but we have been rubbish the last four games'."
"People are going 'I thought he was his teammate, I thought he'd support him a bit more. Did he need to say that?' Those are obviously the questions people are asking if there a bit of beef between them? Listen, there's not beef between them two. They're two really placid, calm guys. Carra has the upmost respect for Scholesy and Scholesy the same."
"It was just interpreted differently to the way Scholesy meant it to come across. He's just being honest and brutal. One thing I'd say about him, he didn't say much in the changing room but when he did it was normally a cutting comment so I'm not surprised he is how he is."
Rio Ferdinand addressed Paul Scholes' Instagram post criticizing Manchester United's performance following their Newcastle loss. Scholes' comment about Carrick having 'something special' while United played poorly sparked speculation about tension between the former teammates. Ferdinand contacted Scholes to understand his intent and clarified on his YouTube channel that no animosity exists between them. Ferdinand explained Scholes was being honest about United's flat performances over four games rather than attacking Carrick personally. Both players maintain mutual respect, and Scholes' directness reflects his playing style of delivering cutting observations when necessary.
