Manchester United icon Paul Scholes wades into Brendan Rodgers row with furious response

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has seemingly weighed in on the Brendan Rodgers situation after the Celtic manager became embroiled in a sexism row.

Following his side's 3-1 victory over Motherwell on Sunday, Rodgers was interviewed by BBC Scotland reporter Jane Lewis. In a tense exchange, Lewis asked the Celtic boss to elaborate on comments he made about the title race where he suggested: "The story has already been written about this group, but we will write our own story".

Taking exception to the line of questioning by the BBC journalist, Rodgers responded: "No, no, you know exactly what I mean." Lewis attempted to ask the question again but she was met with an abrasive: "Done, good girl, well done."

Taking to Instagram, the 49-year-old appeared to take issue with the situation, posting: "This world needs to f*** right off... bye," as he shared an image of Chapman being interviewed on talkSPORT which was captioned: 'Brendan Rodgers
