Yellow peril for Paul Scholes

3 Man Utd players are walking a disciplinary tightrope for tonights semi final 2nd leg in Milan.

The best English player of his generation Paul Scholes has already suffered the heartache of one missed final in 1999, when alongside Roy Keane he was forced to sit out of the win against Bayern Munich.

I really hope that Scholes can contain himself tonight and stay on his feet instead of lunging into challenges in midfield areas.

Man Utd have benefitted massively this season from Scholes' decision to retire from international duty after he was scandalously pushed aside for the massively overrated Frank Lampard.

Any readers out there who have ever got involved in the player performance markets with the spread betting firms will know what a genius Scholes is. His passing, control, movement and vision are second to none, and he is clinical in front of goal.

A place in the Champions League final would be a fitting stage for Paul Scholes, but I must admit I do fear the worst for him as he only knows one way to play.

Other United players on a yellow are Christiano Ronaldo and Heinze.

Ronaldo should be ok if he keeps his emotions in check, but you feel a bit like Paul Scholes, Heinze is a yellow card waiting to happen
