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

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.

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. https://twitter.com/TomDoncaster/status/794278708886568960 https://twitter.com/RajSavraj11/status/794278844861730817 https://twitter.com/TomDoncaster/status/794279125049573377 And his apparent thoughts on Mourinho are even more damning. https://twitter.com/Kimmy_Arsenal/status/794275388767797251 https://twitter.com/toffsretro/status/794474570891853824 https://twitter.com/creativeblock_/status/794280605307564033 https://twitter.com/JustCantona/status/794275664652275712 https://twitter.com/gerrymoth/status/794278758920421382 https://twitter.com/mwchristie/status/794278924335382531 https://twitter.com/mummymaggs/status/794276144761675776 https://twitter.com/Chana9MUFC/status/794282415539847168 https://twitter.com/Downz_e/status/794275532359823360 https://twitter.com/AxitaRuiz/status/794338036565819392 https://twitter.com/donkey_jacket/status/794381899997282304 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.
