WORKERS at a Colne upholstery firm are helping Manchester United star Paul Scholes relax after the excitement of scoring the equalising goal against Inter Milan.

Just days before Scholes travelled to Italy for the big European Champions League game, Swankies Upholstery supplied him with a settee and a set of 12 dining chairs for his home in Oldham.

"We're not claiming we helped him score the goal but we'll have helped him relax when he got home!" said owner David Greenwood.
