Wilkins: Chelsea will win if they silence Man Utd playmaker Scholes

Former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins believes tonight's Champions League tie will be decided by the performance of Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes.

Wilkins reckons Scholes is the biggest threat to Carlo Ancelotti's side at Stamford Bridge.

"They've got to get hold of Scholes tonight," Wilkins told talkSPORT. "If they let the ginger maestro get hold of the ball then they've got a problem.

"I just love Paul Scholes. He's been the best footballer in our division for the last ten years. He's a a wonderful player. If they get hold of him and stop him from playing I think Chelsea will beat them."
