Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has been interviewed for
the vacant manager's job at English third-tier club Oldham Athletic, British
media reported on Wednesday.
The
42-year-old is a life-long Oldham supporter, but has never held a fulltime
coaching job.
The
northwest club declined to comment on the reports they had spoken to the former
England midfielder about the job.
Scholes
has been working as a television pundit and co-owns non-league club Salford
City with some of his former United teammates.
He
won 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two Champions League crowns
during a 20-year playing career at Old Trafford before retiring in 2013.
Former
Oldham player Richie Wellens has been in interim charge since John Sheridan
left last month and the club are 19th in League One, a point above the
relegation zone.
Ex-Netherlands
midfielder Clarence Seedorf also held surprise talks with Oldham, but is now
out of the running
