Manchester United legend Paul Scholes is the favourite to become manager of Oldham Athletic.

The League One club parted ways with Frankie Bunn last week.

Sky Sports claims Scholes has spoken with club's owner Abdallah Lemsagam and is considering the offer.

It would be Scholes first management job in the Football League, having worked as caretaker manager for Salford City, a club he partly owns, in 2015.
