Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes is set for a ten-week layoff after damaging medial knee ligaments in the 3-0 win over Aalborg.

Scholes was stretchered off the pitch after just 15 minutes on Tuesday, as the European champions registered their first Champions League victory.

United's official site confirmed the lengthy absence of the veteran midfielder, who spent long spells of last season on the sidelines after knee surgery.

Moreover, striker Wayne Rooney has also picked up an ankle injury and is likely to miss the Red Devils' trip to Blackburn Rovers next weekend.
