The 41-year-old said he would rather watch his National League North side than the English top flight. In an extract published by the Guardian from new book Class of 92: Out of our League, former Man United player Scholes said: "I don't find elite football as interesting to watch, especially in England.

"There needs to be a real step up in quality in England. Other than Sergio Aguero, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva, we don't have the best players.

"I enjoy watching Salford more. But I genuinely get more enjoyment from watching even my son's team, Royter Town. It's just entertainment."
