England’s performance in the Euro 2024 has caused a lot of opinions from fans and pundits over some players in the team.
Recently, Saka has come under criticism for his performance in the ongoing Euro 2024 tournament, having failed to score any goal.
However, the Arsenal star has been defended by Scholes who hit back at Ian Wright for suggesting that Saka should play as a left-back.
Scholes reply Ian Wright
Paul Scholes has taken to his social media account to express his displeasure at the comment made by Ian Wright on Saka.
In his Instagram post, Scholes said, “Making me pissed, these Arsenal legends, trying to get Saka in at left-back because they are afraid he is going to be left out by Palmer.”

The ex-England international saw the comment from Wright as shocking and said he was pissed by the take from the Arsenal legend.
Ian Wright has previously agreed to Rio Ferdinand’s take on playing Saka as a left-back to accommodate Cole Palmer.
The Arsenal legend spoke extensively about the idea of Saka playing a left-back position for England in the ongoing European tournament.
England will take on Slovakia in the round of 16 knock-out stage and it is yet to be known if Southgate will listen to some of the suggestions made by the pundits or if he will stick to his regular team.
