Man Utd ace Scholes: Man City striker Balotelli has matchwinning ability

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes admits he rates Manchester City firebrand Mario Balotelli.

The Manchester clubs clash tomorrow in the FA Cup semifinal.

Scholes said of City's strikers: "(Edin) Dzeko hasn't adapted yet, but it takes time. Some foreigners take a while, others come in and do it straightaway, like Javier Hernandez, who has been unbelievable. His attitude is brilliant and it shows on the pitch.

"(Mario) Balotelli has taken a bit of time, but there is potential there and a match-winning performance in him that you have to be careful about."
