Louis Van Gaal is always very keen to point out the scale of Man United's injury problems, bemoaning a shortage of fit and available players. There is a very simple solution: just bring Paul Scholes back.

Yes, he's now into his 40s. Yes, he's got himself a new (probably lucrative) career as an outspoken pundit. And yes, judging by the amount he's sweating in the video clip above, he might be a bit out of shape.

But as you'll also see in said video clip, Paul Scholes has still got it. Lots and lots of it.

Playing in the unimaginatively titled Global Legends Series (a series of matches featuring recently retired big names) in Thailand, Scholes scored two absolute belters yesterday. Admittedly, the game wasn't the most intense - Scholes was part of the Fabio Cannavaro side which beat Luis Figo's team 8-5 - but check out the quality of his finishes.

The dink over Jens Lehmann is so outstanding, it proves Scholesy still hasn't lost that incredible touch. United fans would obviously welcome him back with open arms, but still making Jen Lehmann look silly? That's just an added bonus...
