Paul Pogba's agent Mino Raiola has caused quite a stir with his comments on Paul Scholes.
The former United midfielder was stunned by Pogba's post-match interview after the defeat to Brighton, where he admitted his attitude was not right.
Scholes claimed Pogba, who captained United on the south coast, was not the leader the team needed but Raiola snapped back.
United fans have been critical of Raiola with Gary Neville urging Pogba to tell his agent to "shut up".
Raiola has been an outspoken, controversial figure for some time and has managed to rub Sir Alex Ferguson up the wrong way too.

When Pogba left United for Juventus in 2012, Ferguson blamed Raiola for forcing the move.
In his autobiography, the United legend said: "There are one or two football agents I simply do not like, and Mino Raiola is one of them".
There was more to come from the Old Trafford supremo, when he was asked about Pogba during an appearance at Sale Sharks last year.
"Paul Pogba? He had a bad agent. A s***bag," Ferguson said.
"Pogba was well known to us. We knew he was a good player. He's still a good player. We offered him the best contract."
And many United fans aren't surprised that Fergie had Raiola's card marked early on.
