Manchester United’s key midfielder Paul Scholes is likely to make his return to the centre of United’s defence after having had to sit out for two months with a knee injury.
The thirty four year old Scholes jarred his knee badly in his side s Champions League clash against Aalborg BK in late September.
He has been back on the training ground for two weeks and could be in the line-up come kick off time against Blackburn Rovers in tonight’s Carling Cup quarter-final at ld Trafford.
It was initially forecast that Scholes would only be ready for action at the beginning of 2009.
