Manchester United legend Paul Scholes was jokingly less than impressed to see Old Trafford decked out in blue and white flags for Sunday’s Soccer Aid match.
The midfielder scored one of England’s goals in the 4-2 loss to the World XI but before kick-off he raised an eyebrow when he looked to the stands. The celebrity exhibition match raises money for UNICEF each year with £14.6million donated this time around.
In an unlucky coincidence, the charity’s colours are blue and white, somewhat resembling Manchester City’s shades. This stuck out to Scholes, especially less than 24 hours after the Blues had lifted the Champions League to equal his 1999 United side’s Treble feat.
