Arsene Wenger has hit back at Paul Scholes after the former Man United midfielder critiscised Arsenal. Scholes recently claimed that the Gunners are ‘a million miles away from winning the title’ and he also questioned the leadership quality of the team and their ‘tippy-tappy football’
Now, the Arsenal boss has responded to these claims and said: “If six points is a million miles away, then I don’t know what the translation from a mile into a point is. Everybody has opinions, people who have managed zero games have opinions and we have to accept that. We are in a society where there are thousands of opinions every day, and some go for you and some go against you. You have to live with that.”
Scholes criticised Wenger after Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Swansea. He also claimed that Jack Wilshere hasn’t developed, following the midfielder’s burst onto the scene. In response, Wenger said:
“You cannot say that. Jack is an exceptionable player for me who has been handicapped by many injuries. Once Jack is back and consistently on the pitch, he will prove everybody wrong about that because he is an exceptional player – and Scholes knows that as well.”
