In a season that has been disappointing for United, European competitions have always given fans a reason to be happy, and Thursday’s match was no exception. While the club’s last hope for success this season seemed to be fading, goals from Bruno Fernandes, Kobbie Mainoo, and Harry Maguire led to a stunning comeback in extra time.

However, while United is now just 180 minutes away from reaching a European final, much of the online discussion has focused on a former player.

During his usual analysis on TNT Sports, several fans noticed that Paul Scholes has lost a significant amount of weight. Scholes, known for his precise passes and combative play during his playing days, has now drawn attention on social media platform X due to his appearance.

One user wrote: “Damn, Paul Scholes has lost a lot of weight.”
Another user added: “What has happened to Paul Scholes? He has lost a lot of weight in a short time.” A user wrote: “Amazing win! It was a crazy game. But on the sidelines, I noticed something else today. Doesn’t Paul Scholes look very thin? It seems he has lost a lot of weight.” A fan wrote: “I hope he is not ill. His condition is worrying.”

Paul Scholes made 718 appearances for Manchester United in all competitions over more than two decades at Old Trafford, scoring 155 goals.
In September, the 50-year-old once again wore the famous red shirt and took to the field alongside players like Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov in a match between Manchester United’s legendary team and Celtic.
