Manchester United legend Paul Scholes made a hilarious admission as he shared a picture with his former club teammates Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and four others.
The picture was from the 2005 FA Cup final shootout with Arsenal - which United lost - with Scholes being the only United player to miss his effort. The former player shared the picture on Instagram stories and captioned it in self-deprecating humour:
"My favourite ever pic apart from being the only silly t*** to miss a pen," followed by emojis of three monkeys covering their eyes.

The five other Manchester United players Scholes posed with are then captain Roy Keane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Rio Ferdinand.
Coming to that game, following a goalless 120 minutes, a shootout ensued. Ruud van Nistelrooy made the perfect start to United before Lauren responded for the Gunners.
Scholes' effort was saved by Jens Lehmann, and that would be decisive. The next seven spot-kicks all went in - including from United's Ronaldo, Rooney and Keane - before Patrick Vieira put his penalty past Roy Carroll to confirm Arsenal's tenth FA Cup win.
