PAUL SCHOLES has taken his first steps into management by overseeing training sessions at Oldham Athletic.
The Manchester United legend has been working with the club’s youth team and posed for a snap with awe-struck teens at Chapel Road this week.
Scholes is working hard to obtain his UEFA A coaching licence and is training Oldham’s kids on a monthly basis.
There are also potential investors from China taking a look at the League One side and Scholes’ presence could hold the key to a deal being struck.
Oldham are in desperate need of cash and the Chinese guests seemed impressed as they watched a 2-0 win over Peterborough United after visiting the training ground.
And it appears that Scholes has already got the seal of approval from club chiefs, with a source claiming he’s ‘still got it’.
They told the Mail: “Scholesy has been taking sessions about once a month. He’s really, really impressive.
