Scholes back at Man Utd to help U19 coach Butt with victory over Bayer Leverkusen

Manchester United's kids handed Nicky Butt a debut victory in their UEFA Youth League clash with Bayer Leverkusen.

United defeated Bayer 4-3 on the day.

Despite the sending off of Paddy McNair, the home side earned three points through a late James Wilson penalty with Paul Scholes helping his former team-mate Butt out in his role of assisting with the Under-19 coaching on a match-by-match basis.

Wilson also struck in the first-half, with Ben Pearson and Andreas Pereira also getting on United's scoresheet.
