Paul Scholes to be Manchester derby pundit

Paul Scholes will be a part of the Sky Sports punditry team for this evening's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.

The 39-year-old retired for the second time at the end of last season, ending a playing association with Manchester United that dated back to 1993 when he signed his first professional contract.

Scholes was known to have often tried his best to avoid appearing in front of the television cameras during his playing career, but he has accepted the invitation to be in the studio at his former stomping ground.
