Fans to bid for chance to play alongside Paul Scholes via eBay auction

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has given one fan the chance to play alongside him during a charity football match.

The 38-year-old, who retired from football for good at the end of last season, is trying to raise money for his son's football team Stalybridge Celtic Juniors.

The auction was placed on eBay on Monday with a starting bid of £10 and will run until 9pm on July 22, according to the Daily Mail.

Scholes initially retired in 2011, but returned in January 2012 until the end of the campaign.
