  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Manchester United picked up their first Europa League win of the season on Thursday by beating PAOK 2-0 at Old Trafford. After the game there were some heartwarming scenes as Ozdoev asked United legend Paul Scholes, who was about to go live on television with some post-match punditry, to sign his shirt. The former midfielder was happy to oblige and admitted afterwards Ozdoev had wanted his autograph for his father.

  • WHAT SCHOLES SAID

    Scholes said on TNT Sports: "He [Ozdoev] did [ask for an autograph]. I wasn't sure he'd remember me, it was such a long time ago. But he asked one for his dad, so I obliged. I think I spelled it right as well."

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    It's now been over a decade since Scholes hung up his boots for good in 2013 after an incredible career where he won 11 Premier League titles, two FA Cups and lifted the European Cup twice with the Red Devils. Manchester United have failed to win the Premier League during that time but will start a new era on Monday when Ruben Amorim takes over as the club's new head coach after an impressive stint in Portugal with Sporting.

    WHAT NEXT FOR MAN UTD

    United's final game before Amorim takes over is on Sunday against Leicester City in the Premier League. The match will be Ruud van Nistelrooy's final game as interim boss, although he has indicated he wishes to stay on at Old Trafford. Van Nistelrooy has already enjoyed victory over the Foxes during his brief time in charge, overseeing a 5-2 win in the Carabao Cup in October.
