Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has slammed Louis van Gaal 'long ball' dossier antics yesterday as "bizarre". Van Gaal turned up for his press conference ahead of United's game against Burnley on Wednesday with a four-page dossier, which he insisted dispelled the claims made by Sam Allardyce after Sunday's 1-1 draw at West Ham United.

Scholes, speaking on the Fletch & Sav show following Liverpool's win over Tottenham on Tuesday night, said there was no need for the United manager to react.

He said: "Why would you react to a West Ham manager, it's different if it's a rival manager like Chelsea or Manchester City's, but at the end of the day you're the Manchester United manager.

"I found it all bizarre to be honest with you, as I felt Allardyce's comments were light-hearted in the first place."
