FANS are paying nearly £770 for a kickabout with Manchester United great Paul Scholes.
The Treble winner is taking part in a hour-long five-a-side game.
2 Tickets for the September 3 game cost £750 plus an £18.75 service fee — but are sold out
A squad of 15 players will make up the teams with subs every three minutes — meaning paying punters are unlikely to get a full match with their hero.
The event takes place on the rooftop pitch at Hotel Football in Manchester , owned by Scholes’ former United teammates Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs .
Tickets for the September 3 game cost £750 plus an £18.75 service fee — but are sold out.
They include a selfie with Scholes, 50, one autograph and a burger and fries.
A fan told The Sun: “Every United fan dreams of having a kickabout with their heroes but they will be hoping for ‘Fergie time’ so they get a bit longer on the pitch with Scholesy.”
Scholes played for the Red Devils for nearly 20 years up to 2013 and scored more than 150 goals.
A member of the famed Class of ’92 , he won 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups , two Champions Leagues , two League Cups, one Intercontinental Cup, and a FIFA Club World Cup.
He had a short stint as interim manager of Salford City, which he co-owned with Neville and Giggs until the club was bought out in 2025.
He now works as a pundit.
Event organiser Heroes & Legends was asked to comment.
