Paul Scholes ‘live show’ set for the Apollo

An audience with United legend Paul Scholes is happening for one night only in September. The former midfield general and Salford City co-owner will reportedly ‘lift the lid on his incredible life and career’ in the show.

He’ll appear on stage with Sky Sports presenter Pete Graves, who will grill Scholes on everything from his early career in United’s youth team through to his 25 major titles with the side. Audience members will also be able to ask him questions in a special interactive element of the show.

Show producer Ben Hatton said: "Paul Scholes is a true football legend, one of England's most successful ever players and now a straight-talking pundit who fans absolutely love for his incredible insight and brutally honest views.

As part of the famous Class of 92 with David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Phil Neville, Scholes played through a staggering 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League titles at United.

He also won 66 caps for England, appearing in both Euro 2000 and 2004, as well as the 1998 and 2002 FIFA World Cups. He’s since gone on to become a football pundit on both ITV Sport and BT.

In 2014, along with Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville and Phil Neville - and later David Beckham - Scholes bought Salford City football club, acting as caretaker manager in 2020.
