Paul Scholes

Manchester United ever­green Paul Scholes, who scored with a mag­ni­fi­cent long dis­tance effort in the 2–0 vic­tory against Queens Park Rangers last Sunday, is likely to be res­ted for the away clash with strug­gling Wigan Ath­letic on Wed­nes­day. As for The Lat­ics, Colom­bia inter­na­tional Hugo Rodal­lega in doubt with a knee complaint.

Appar­enty, Paul Scholes is enjoy­ing some­thing of an Indian sum­mer at the moment. The ball play­ing mid­field man made an aston­ish­ing return to the Manchester United first team when he came out of retire­ment to help The Manchester Reds defeat long­time crosstown adversar­ies Manchester City 3–2 at the Eti­had Sta­dium in the FA Cup Third Round back in Janu­ary. The Manchester United stal­wart, who belongs to the rare breed of soc­cer play­ers who embrace val­ues like loy­alty and hard work, has made almost 500 league apper­ances dur­ing a pro­fes­sional foot­balling career that so far has spanned twenty years.
