Yaya Toure hits back at ''dirty'' Paul Scholes after Champions League criticism

Under fire: Toure has been criticised heavily but has now taken the time to respond Yaya Toure has hit back at Paul Scholes after the former Manchester United man criticised him earlier this week. The Manchester City midfielder's defensive contribution was called into question after a lacklustre display against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in midweek. "The amount of time I saw opponents get in behind him in the game in Munich was quite remarkable," Scholes wrote in the Independent. "He just did not look interested. Alongside him, Fernandinho is having to do the work of two players defensively and against Bayern that was always going to cause City problems." But upon hearing the criticism the big Ivorian has bitten back claiming Scholes has gone from being a "good guy" to "a bit dirty". “We never hear something about Paul Scholes when he was a player, but now he is starting to talk," he said on Football Focus.
