Fergie banks on Scholes goals

ALEX FERGUSON is banking on Paul Scholes to inspire another lucrative Champions League campaign for Manchester United in Stuttgart tonight.

On the day the club announced record pre-tax profits of £39million, boss Ferguson is clear about the value of the 28-year-old's continental contribution.

Scholes is expected to start against the Bundesliga leaders after making an earlier than expected recovery from a hernia problem for which it had originally been feared he would face a third operation.
