PAUL SCHOLES was forced off during Soccer Aid after being injured by former Manchester United team-mate Nani.
The United legend was representing England in the charity match.
And he played a big role in the game by firing England in front shortly after half-time.
Asa Butterfield cancelled out Usain Bolt’s opener just after the break before Scholes bagged a trademark goal.
He may have hung up his boots in 2013 but he rolled back the years by unleashing a stunner into the bottom corner.
But minutes later his return to the Old Trafford pitch was cut short following a collision with Nani.

The Portuguese ran into the midfielder, who came off second best.
He received treatment on the pitch but was unable to continue, though was able to hobble off rather than needing a stretcher.
Nevertheless, Scholes left a good impression on viewers who were quick to praise his goal.
One said: “My king he’s back.”

Another added: “Still got it 😎👌🏻”
A third wrote: “Better than McTominay.”
And another commented: “This ends the Scholes/Gerrard debate.”
Fans were also left shocked after Tommy Fury managed to nutmeg former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere.
And it was all downhill for England after Scholes’ exit as former Tottenham and Liverpool star Robbie Keane netted twice for the World XI in the second half.
And Love Island star Kem Cetinay scored a record-breaking fifth Soccer Aid goal to seal it at 4-2.
The charity football bonanza, which raised £14,619,005 for Unicef by full-time, also saw new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino back in the dugout ahead of his move to Stamford Bridge next month.
