Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson expects Paul Scholes to be sidelined for another two weeks with his knee injury.

Ferguson also had words of praise for David de Gea, who produced possibly his best performance for United in the 1-1 Bernabeu draw with a string of fine saves. "He is maturing," said Ferguson. "Very few goalkeepers go into the first team at 20. Gianluigi Buffon and Petr Cech are two examples of those who did but it is not always the case. "Peter Schmeichel didn't join us until he was 27, and he gave us eight great years." To find out more about live football on Sky Sports, Click here
