PAUL SCHOLES 700TH APPEARANCE SEES MANCHESTER UNITED WITH A SUPERB WIN

Mild-field custodian, Paul Scholes scored one of his easiest goals on his 700th appearance for Manchester United by sending the Red Devils to their biggest win of the season so far after a 4 – 0 victory over Wigan Athletic.

Sir Alex Ferguson earlier described Scholes’ cameo at Southampton last month as like someone “opening a door”. Even at age 37, his sense of timing remains impeccable as he broke the deadlock with his 155th United goal.
Javier Hernandez, who missed a first-half penalty, bagged a second when he turned home Alexander Buttner’s misdirected shot, then the Dutchman capped a fine debut by driving home the hosts’ third straight win of the season.
The veteran Ryan Giggs made his 600th premier league appearance for United while central half defender, Rio Ferdinand made his 400th appearance for the club.
However, while Sir Alex Ferguson may feel a bit unhappy on the exploit the erstwhile Manchester United players like Berbatov, who scored 2 goals in his debut for Fulham; J.S Park and Fabio were excessively outstanding as QPR help Chelsea to a barren draw.
The basic consolation for Sir Alex in his 1001th league match is that all his new summer signings have really proven their worth with Buttner and Powel scoring in their debut games against Wigan Athletic.
