Paul Scholes testimonial

The Paul Scholes testimonial match kicks off in 30 minutes, it signals the end of Manchester United's pre-season and it also signals the rebirth of the New York Cosmos franchise who will be looking to enter MLS within the next few seasons.

Expect this to be a boring match, the Cosmos are made up of a combination of world class veterans (Cannavaro, McBride, Pires) and some players from the Cosmos youth ranks. Expect United to play a reserve team with an eye towards the big Community Shield match on Sunday against arch rivals Manchester City, any injuries this late into the pre-season could be disastrous for Sir Alex and co. so expect very short cameos from the top players in this game.
