"Scholes will play tomorrow. He'll start. He maybe found it hard in the half hour he had on Saturday, he'd had five weeks out and to come in during the middle of a game is difficult, but I expect him to be much better tomorrow night.”

"It's good to have him back. He's scored over 100 goals from midfield for the club and I think that, when you've got a midfield player whose timing arriving in the penalty box is so good, he's always a goal threat. Look at last season - he scored 20 goals. That's outstanding from a midfield player.”

"The other part is he has a clever football brain. He's two-footed, has a quick football brain and that marks him out as one of the best players in the game."

Giggs added:

"It is great to have Paul back,he opens up defences and is so comfortable on the ball. He really gives us an extra dimension."
