Scholes swoops to get United off to a flyer

PAUL SCHOLES popped up 13minutes from time to ensure Manchester United’s bid to reach a third successive Champions League final got off on exactly the right note in Istanbul.

Sent off at the weekend at Tottenham for some would say two typical Scholes tackles, the 34-year-oldproduced another skill he is well noted for, ghosting into the penalty area unseen to nod home after Hakan Arikan had saved Nani’s blistering shot.

Scholes’ effort gave United victory they just about deserved.
