Did Paul Scholes draw a coffin around Jose Mourinho’s name in his match notes?

And there's Michael Owen, getting paid to watch football, drawing a banana...

In case you hadn’t worked it out by now, Paul Scholes doesn’t seem to be Jose Mourinho’s biggest fan.

BT Sport anchor Jake Humphrey has shared Scholes’ and Michael Owen’s studio notes for last night’s Europa League action, and it doesn’t look good for the Portuguese boss.

Scholes and Owen were on punditry duty for Fenerbahce’s 2-1 win over Mourinho’s side in the Europa League on Thursday night, and the Manchester United legend made his feelings pretty clear on the mess that is his former club at the moment.

“We have had a painful three years,” Scholes said after the game.

“The next 18 months to two years could be very similar until this manager gets the team he wants.”

However, that wasn’t enough for some, who sought to gain an insight into what Scholes really thinks about the situation at United by dissecting the details of his notes on the team sheets for the game.

If you said there was nothing to see here, just doodles and scribbles, the likes of which we were all guilty of when bored off our arses in school, you’d be very wrong.

No, this doodle shows Scholes has no time for Jose, and he thinks Marcos Rojo is either a “big worry” or a “big wimp.”

According to some on social media, anyway.

And his apparent thoughts on Mourinho are even more damning.

While it’s clear from Scholes’ notes that he considers Rojo to be unfit to play for United, and he’s plotting a coup against Mourinho, Owen’s err, ‘notes’, aren’t quite as easy to decipher.

The former Liverpool and United striker attempted to phonetically spell the surname of Simon Kjær, the Fenerbahce defender.

He also drew his own initials in block letters, alongside an exclamation mark, a wizard’s wand, a banana, what appears to be an arrow, and a strawberry with a face.
