Paul Scholes charged with allegedly
breaking FA betting rules
FORMER Manchester
United and England mid-
fielder Paul Scholes has
been charged with miscon-
duct for allegedly breaking
FA betting rules.
Scholes is alleged to have
placed 140 bets on football
matches between 17 August
2015 and 12 January 2019.
The 44-year-old, who
spent 31 days in charge of
Oldham Athletic between
February and March this
year, has a 10% stake in
fifth-tier side Salford City.
He has until 26 April to re-
spond to the charge.
Scholes, who won 11 Pre-
mier League titles with
Manchester United and was
capped 66 times by England,
retired from playing in 2013
and became a part-owner
of Salford in 2014 alongside
former United players Gary
and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs
and Nicky Butt.
