Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes was filmed getting a lap dance during a night out earlier this month.
Scholes was enjoying a night in Manchester’s Dirty Martini bar on October 16 when he was caught on camera, according to reports.
The 46-year-old, who split from his wife Claire last year, was sitting down in the bar when a mystery blonde woman approached him and started dancing.
“He was sitting down and she started dancing in front of him,” a source is quoted in The Sun as saying.
“He couldn’t help himself and ran his hands all over the place as she gyrated.
“The girl wasn’t a professional lap dancer, she was drinking there and having fun.
“Fair play to him, he took it in good humour.”
The newspaper described the moment as ‘touchy-feely’, while Scholes’ agent did not comment.
It is not the first time Scholes has been in the headlines for reasons away from football recently.
The ex-midfielder went viral for the wrong reasons after a video emerged which appeared to show him chewing on his daughter Alicia’s toenails .
Alicia, 20, posted a video to her Instagram story last week captioned ‘true love’ to her 62,000 followers.
In it the legendary former United player appeared to be giving her a foot rub, while also chewing on her big toe.
The video was shared widely on social media and Scholes found himself at the centre of a storm receiving some abuse.
He later spoke out about the video after an anonymous person had tagged the footballing star and wrote: "Drop dead."
Re-posting the message, Scholes wrote: "This is one of the nicer comments I've had this weekend.... I've had better ones."
Scholes’ week will have at least got better on Saturday when United picked up a crucial 3-0 win over Tottenham.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had been under huge pressure coming into the match following the 5-0 defeat by Liverpool last weekend, but his side produced an impressive performance in north London.
Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a brilliant volley from Bruno Fernandes ’ pass to send the away side in 1-0 ahead at half-time.
Ronaldo then set up Edinson Cavani to make it 2-0 with a dinked finish over Hugo Lloris before Marcus Rashford completed the scoring late on after being put clean through.
Scholes has been one of the most outspoken critics of his former team-mate during his punditry work for BT Sport.
United face Atalanta in the Champions League on Tuesday before the Manchester derby at Old Trafford on Saturday.
