The 31 managers who played at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson

As Paul Scholes is linked with the vacant manager's position at Oldham, we look at the managerial careers of the players who played under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United.

Sky Sports News understands 42-year-old Scholes and current caretaker manager Richie Wellens are the leading candidates for the Sky Bet League One job.

Scholes, who retired from professional football in May 2013 after a 20-year career with Manchester United, has been a frequent attendee at Boundary Park over the past few seasons and lives locally.

Oldham parted company with former manager John Sheridan on September 25 following a poor start to the campaign.

The Latics have since interviewed Clarence Seedorf and Steven Pressley for the vacant role in recent weeks, but could Scholes be their man?
