Man Utd net Scholes injury boost

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes may be fit for the start of the Premier League season - despite a recent exploratory knee operation.

Scholes, 32, was injured during a pre-season game against FC Seoul but has been included in the squad to face Dunfermline in a friendly on Wednesday.

If he plays some part, Scholes could be a substitute against Reading on Sunday.

Manager Sir Alex Ferguson will not be at the East End Park run-out because his wife wants him to help move house.

Ferguson said: "I told Cathy that I had a match but she wasn't having any of that. She said it was a friendly and that I had to help her."

Another United side will travel to Belfast to play Glentoran on Wednesday.
