This sounds like it’ll be good fun.

Paul Scholes has come out of retirement for a second time. The Manchester Untied legend won’t be featuring for Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford next season though, but will be going to India for a stint in futsal.

The 41-year-old will play in the Premier Futsal League next month, alongside former Barcelona midfielder Deco. The game is played indoors, with five players on each side, and for two 20 minute periods.

The tournament will take place across eight cities in India during July.

If Scholes is as good at futsal as he is on astroturf with his mates, Indian fans are be in for a treat.
