While Wenger praised Scholes’ ability he also pointed out that the former England International had a darker side to his game.
“I don’t know why Arsene Wenger said that,” said Ferguson.
“When you are asked your opinion about someone with the ability and performance level of Paul Scholes I don’t see why you should say that.
“It is very easy to look at the dark side of any player. I could say it about one of the Arsenal players in particular and everybody knows that but there is no need.
“Paul is not the best tackler but he has not injured anyone in his time here.
“You should focus on the strengths and abilities he shows and also the contribution he has made to English football over 18 years. It is phenomenal.”
