Paul Scholes Responds to Daughter Wearing Arsenal Shirt in Candid Video

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes reacted humorously when his daughter, Alicia, interrupted him while watching their season opener against Arsenal. The match marked the first opportunity for fans to see United’s new squad after a busy summer transfer window.

Alicia, a netball player for London Pulse and England international, filmed her father’s reaction as she entered the lounge wearing an Arsenal jersey. The clip shows Scholes telling her to “take it off,” to which she responds with a firm “No.” The clip quickly gained popularity on social media.

Alicia is one of three children from Scholes and his wife, Claire Froggatt. She is in a relationship with Love Island star Ayo Odukoya, who confirmed their relationship in July. The couple has been sharing moments together on social media, fueling speculation that he might appear on the next series of Love Island: All Stars. Odukoya had previously split from his partner Jess Spencer after series 11 in 2024.

Fans noticed Alicia’s posts featuring a man with a similar hoodie and a distinctive goatee, leading many to believe she is dating Ayo. Alicia also maintains a significant social media presence as an influencer, with over 100,000 followers on Instagram.

In a previous viral clip, Alicia posted her father, Paul Scholes, nibbling on her toenails in a playful moment that drew mixed reactions online. Despite the reactions, Alicia described the video as a display of “true love.”
