Want to play alongside Scholesy? Join the former Man United star for as little as £113 in eBay auction



Have you ever dreamed of playing alongside Manchester United legend Paul Scholes? Well, now's your chance.



The former England midfielder has been put up for auction on eBay - and the highest bidder will join Scholes as he plays in a charity game to raise money for his son’s football team.

Scholes, who initially retired from professional football in the summer of 2011 only to make a sensational U-turn and rejoin United in January 2012, hung up his boots up for good at the end of last season.

But now the midfield maestro is preparing himself for another comeback, as the former United star swaps the famous red shirt for the blue of Stalybridge Celtic Juniors in the club’s annual charity match on July 26.



The auction was launched on Monday with a starting bid of £10, and as of Tuesday morning, the current highest bidder is £113 - but rapidly escalating - as the chance to play with a player many regard as the greatest midfielder of a generation intensifies.

Former Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers full-back Alan Wright will also feature in the match.

The live bidding will end on July 22 at 9pm.

The club are hoping that the fundraiser, boosted by Scholes’ presence, will contribute towards the junior club’s clubhouse renovation project target of £50,000.



On the day, Scholes will be playing in a dads v coaches clash to raise funds for Stalybridge, where his son, Aaron, plays for the Under 14s.



The 38-year-old announced his retirement at the end of last season, after making over 700 appearances under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford and scoring 155 goals.

Although Scholes has asked for a sabbatical from football to concentrate on his family after retiring, new United boss David Moyes is keen to get the former midfielder back on United’s books in a coaching capacity.



Moyes said: 'Paul has been fantastic, he wanted to give me so much help and direction on things.
