OLDHAM ATHLETIC SIGN PAUL SCHOLES AS THEIR NEW MANAGER

United legend Scholes was handed the Oldham Athletic job on Monday - his first job as a boss.
The ex-midfielder signed a one and a half year deal at the League Two outfit to follow fellow Class of '92 pals Gary Neville, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs into the dugout.
Scholes will also be hoping to learn lessons from the Red Devils' caretaker boss Solskjaer - who has remained unbeaten in his 11 matches so far at Old Trafford.
Solskjaer and Scholes shared a dressing room under the watchful eye of Sir Alex Ferguson between 1996 and 2007
"It's a challenge for him, it's not what he thought he was going to do as a player, but it's a drug, football, and he's just around the corner, so it will be good to watch Oldham."
Solskjaer will lead United against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday, while Scholes will be on the touchline for Latics vs Yeovil.
And the former Cardiff chief has predicted his side could be a surprise name to win the whole competition.
Solskjaer, who has won 10 and drawn one of his 11 games in charge of United, said: “This squad is very capable of winning against any opponents.
When we go into games confident as we are, we're looking forward, but we can’t look too far ahead.
“We have to look to PSG and make sure we go through this one, and then take the next challenge as it comes.
“But I said to the boys, if we keep working every day in training, we can improve and maybe surprise a few people."

WWE: Ronda Rousey Needs To Be Careful With Accidentally Dissing Pro Wrestling

Image
ENTERTAINIC news Ronda Rousey had two excellent WWE Raw Women’s Championship matches in back-to-back nights and does a great job of putting over her opponents in the ring, but she needs to be careful when promoting her own fully legit fighting credentials; she may be inadvertently “exposing” pro wrestling when she kicks down her opponents. The WrestleMania 35 main event between Becky Lynch and Ronda Rousey feels like  WWE ‘s most highly-anticipated match in quite some time. Though Lynch is the must-see wrestler here with the thunderous “Becky! Becky! Becky!” chants she receives on a nightly basis, Rousey has been viewed as the promotion’s biggest mainstream star; it’s star-power she earned by being an Olympic medalist and a UFC Champion. Rousey is quick to remind wrestling fans of her credentials. She did so on Raw when she told Becky that she could kill her with her bare hands, a claim that I doubt many people would refute. The Raw Women’s Champion doubled-down on this t
