Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was today confirmed as the new manager of League Two side Oldham Athletic.

There had been speculation that his involvement with Non-League Salford City could have jeopardised the move but after receiving clearance from the EFL, it was confirmed.

The 44-year-old follows in the footsteps of Frank Lampard at Derby and Steven Gerrard at Rangers as legendary Premier League midfielders to step into management this season.
