Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes rolls back the years with vintage pass to Wayne Rooney during Michael Carrick's testimonial

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes reminded supporters what they're missing as he rolled back the years during Michael Carrick's testimonial at Old Trafford.

The 42-year-old was part of a 'Manchester United 2008' XI that played against Harry Redknapp's 'All-Stars' to mark Carrick's 11-years at the club.

And in the first half Scholes showed he had not lost his eye for a pass, producing a trademark through-ball to release Wayne Rooney behind the All-Stars' back four.
