Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is hoping to have Paul Scholes at his disposal for the beginning of December.

Scholes suffered medial ligament damage in United's UEFA Champions League victory away to AaB Aalborg in September.

The Red Devils fly out to Japan for the Fifa Club World Cup after the Tottenham game on 13th December and Ferguson feels Scholes could make his comeback prior to the trip to the Far East.

"We are pencilling Paul in for the week before the Japan trip," Ferguson said in the Manchester Evening News.

"He is doing very well and kicking the ball and doing straight running."
