Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was 'best player' during Oldham Athletic training sessions

Bolton Wanderers attacker Dapo Afolayan wishes Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was given more time as Oldham Athletic boss and claimed the retired midfielder was the 'best player' when he took part in training sessions.

United legend Scholes managed the Latics for little over a month at the start of 2019.

He oversaw seven games during his spell at Boundary Park and picked up just one win in that time. But his spell at the Latics was cut short as he resigned from his post due to claimed interference from club owner Abdallah Lemsagam as he ended his spell at his hometown club after 31 days.
