"I'm delighted for Scholes, we know he's the main player, our playmaker and he works hard and deserved it," van Nistelrooy told Sky Sports.
"Overall it was a great performance and something to build on. We had the opportunities to score a couple which we did. Portsmouth hung in there and fought for the lives which made it a difficult game."
Ferguson joined in: "I'm delighted and I'm sure everyone in the ground is too. Knowing Paul, what a good goalscorer he is, he can start adding to his tally now."
