Since early October influential playmaking midfielder Paul
Scholes has been sidelined with a knee ligament injury.
Early reports though suggest the Salford born 34-year old could
return in time for the heated and highly anticipated Manchester
derby on November 30.
He returned to the training ground on Wednesday and is believed to
undergo full training in a week and a half meaning he would then
have seven days to suitably prepare and build up his match fitness
in time for the Manchester City showdown.
A United insider reportedly told British tabloid the Sun: "Paul was
spraying 40 yard passes around as if he had never been away.
"To do that takes some power in the knee. He was also sprinting
around — you would not believe he suffered an injury just six weeks
ago.
"He probably could play in the derby — it’s just a question of what
the boss wants to do."
