They might now be both retired, one a TV pundit and one an assistant manager, but Ryan Giggs can still find former Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes with a pass everytime.

Watch the video (below) of Giggs playing a prank while Scholes was broadcasting live on BT Sport during Manchester United's 2-1 defeat at PSV in the Champions League this week.

Noticing that Scholes was speaking to the camera, Giggs, who was on the pitch as part of United's warm-up, looked up, and then curled over a crafty pass right onto Scholes's foot. The ginger maestro saw the funny side, in this video uploaded by an eagle-eyed YouTube user.
