Paul Scholes opens up on drinking habits as youngster which "worried" Man Utd

Paul Scholes has opened up about his drinking habits as a youngster at Manchester United.

The 47-year-old is one of the most decorated Premier League players of all-time, having won the top-flight 11 times, making 499 appearances in the meantime. He was named in the PFA Team of the Year twice and also won the Champions League on two occasions during an illustrious 20-year stint with the Red Devils.

However, it wasn't all plain sailing for Scholes, especially at the start of his career.

He has revealed he used to spend a large portion of his time away from football in the pub, getting the pints in both before and after matches.
