Manchester United and England legend is reportedly close to becoming the new Oldham Athletic manager

Manchester United and England legend Paul Scholes is close to becoming the new Oldham Athletic manager, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke.

Manchester United and England legend Paul Scholes is close to becoming the new Oldham Athletic manager.

It’s no secret that Paul Scholes is an Oldham Athletic fan and in 2002 whilst playing for England has stated his favourite ever footballer was Frankie Bunn, former Oldham Athletic player and manager.

Oldham Athletic sacked Frankie Bunn after six months in charge following their 6-0 defeat by Carlisle United on Christmas Eve.

Pete Wild has been the first team caretaker manager and has impressed in his temporary role.

Paul Scholes admitted he wanted the role as Oldham Athletic manager last season, but Latics opted for Richie Wellens instead.

Paul Scholes told Sky Sports“I wanted the job”

“It’s not a secret from my side. It is something that interested me. Talks went well but they probably interviewed a few people. It was a job that I wanted, it was something I was interested in.”

He added: “It might happen one day (becoming manager of Oldham), I was hoping it would be this time. I have done my coaching badges. Why do coaching badges if you don’t want to go into football? It’s something in the future I want to do.”

“I have had a couple of offers in the last year or so but this was the one that interested me the most. Whether something comes along in the future we will have to see.”
