Paul Scholes solved United's goalscoring problem in the 1994-95 season when Eric Cantona was banned.He was also in the England youth team.

A local talent, born in Salford, Scholes soon made it into the England under-21 squad after breaking into the United side.

He is tipped as the most talented of Fergie's Fledglings and hit 16 goals in his first 21 games for United including a winner in the game all United fans look forward to, the derby against City.

Says United boss Alex Ferguson: "Paul Scholes has got an old head on young shoulders. That's probably his greatest asset and he is now a consistent goalscorer for us."

Weighed in with 15 goals in the 1995-96 season, and those goals helped United win the both the Premiership and the FA Cup.
