Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is set to be out of action for at least three months after picking up a knee injury. The 32 year old injured his knee in the build to the Champions League group game against Dynamo Kiev and is set to undergo an operation on Thursday. Scholes has been an integral part of the United team in recent years and will be missed although I feel they have good cover in Hargeaves and Anderson.Fellow United midfielder Michael Carrick is also sidelined at the moment but is expected to return to training early this week and may even feature in Saturday's game against Arsenal. This injury means that Scholes will be out until February which isn't good news at all considering he is in his last few years of playing for the Reds.
United played Hargreaves and Anderson for the weekends game against Middlesbrough and I thought both were excellent. Hargreaves plays the holding role in midfield terrific and I think he will probably keep Carrick out of the side. Hopefully all goes well with the operation for Scholes and hes back sooner than expected.
