When asked to rate his display by BT Sport pundit Scholes following the match, the 46-year-old stated: “I think Fred’s improved a lot, and maybe two or three months ago people wouldn’t have said Burnley away is going to be a game for Fred.
“But he’s developed a lot, he’s confident and he’s a tenacious little midfielder, like you to be fair! A little bit quicker off the ground maybe.”
