Gary Neville praises former teammate Paul Scholes as a model professional.

Former Manchester United and England right-back Gary Neville has praised the professionalism of his ex-teammate Paul Scholes.

Scholes, now 37, made his 700th United appearance in the weekend's 4-0 win over Wigan and Neville has urged young players to learn from him.

"He's a model performer for younger footballers to look to in how he plays on the pitch," Neville wrote in his column for the Mail on Sunday.

"I would urge anyone who loves football, particularly if they have a child who wants to learn from professionals, to go along to watch him play in the flesh this season."

Scholes made 66 England appearances before retiring from international duty.
