Will Manchester United legend be in charge of Oldham at Crawley Town on Saturday?

The Sky Bet League Two side are keen to appoint Scholes as the successor to Frankie Bunn, who was sacked in December.

The deal is complicated by Scholes' involvement at National League side Salford City, where he is a part-owner along with former United team-mates Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, David Beckham and Singapore billionaire Peter Lim.
