Manchester United great Paul Scholes blasted Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for whipping up the home support during Saturday's clash.

Referee Craig Pawson went over to the VAR monitor at the Emirates Stadium to check a possible penalty on Bukayo Saka after he was clumsily bundled over by United's Alex Telles.

Arteta was seen gesturing to the crowd to increase the noise and United legend Scholes felt that that "shouldn't be allowed" as it was done to "influence" the referee.

"I didn't really think of the foul, to be honest," Scholes told Premier League Productions after Arsenal's 3-1 win.

"That brings into question whether it's a clear and obvious error, which is the only reason it should go to the VAR.

"It's a coming together, of course it is. I think Arteta is a disgrace there. He shouldn't be allowed to do that.

"If you see it again, he actually goes to the crowd to try and influence the referee a little.

"All the players around them as well. That shouldn't be allowed but it's a little bit clumsy from Telles."
