Paul Scholes says Wesley Sneijder is “brilliant” then sensationally claims that the earth is round

Paul Scholes' comments about Man United transfer target Wesley Sneijder have been grabbing the football headlines today, but that wasn't the only startling revelation from the Old Trafford great. “Yes, Sneijder's brilliant,” Scholes told MUTV, in a sensational case of stating the bleeding obvious about one of the world's best players. Unbeknown to Scholesy or MUTV, the ginger prince was overheard divulging even more glaringly obvious scoops off mic and talkSPORT can exclusively reveal them here.

Thinking that the cameras had stopped rolling, Scholes confessed that…

– The Earth is round

– What comes up must go down (QPR)

– People who comment 'First!' on YouTube videos have no discernible trace of life

– Everyone who's ever owned a calculator has entered 55378008 into it, then turned it upside down for a cheap laugh

– Anything described as 'the feel good movie of the year' is always total sh**e

– People who write 'lol' at the end of every sentence aren't actually laughing out loud

– Fitted sheets are impossible to fold

– Liverpool won't win the league next season
