Paul Scholes has been unveiled as the new manager of League Two side Oldham Athletic after being cleared to take charge of the club.
The former Manchester United midfielder will take his first managerial role with the club he’s followed since he was a young boy, and will try to help 14th place Athletic climb up the league ladder.
Back in 2017, Scholes took charge of training Oldham’s youngsters “about once a month”.
