The Manchester United legend, 45, decided to sell the house just weeks after Claire left their marital home and stopped wearing her wedding ring.


Scholes and his family – including his three children – have lived at the luxurious 13,000sq ft property for 21 years.


The former England star bought the pad soon after the 1998 World Cup.


The mansion is described as one of the “finest homes in Saddleworth”, in Greater Manchester, and features no fewer than seven bedrooms.


Scholes’ home – which was redesigned and refurbished in full in 2015 – also features its very own football pitch, home gym and putting green.

In keeping with the sports motif, the mansion has a netball court, and Alicia, the 18-year-old daughter, is about to make her debut with the Manchester Thunder.


In addition, the Saddleworth property has an independent “executive detached house” situated inside the landscaped grounds.

A source told The Sun the pair, both 45, are “devastated”.

They added: “You have to feel for them as they both value family above everything else.

“They’ve been together forever and nobody saw this coming.”

At the age of eighteen, Scholes, who was raised on a council estate that seemed to be miles away from their Saddleworth house, met Claire in his neighborhood bar.

After six years, they got married.

With an estimated net worth of £27 million, Scholes often shared pictures of himself and Claire on Instagram; the most recent post was made in February.

The former midfielder went so far as to claim that his excessive missive of Claire caused him to leave his England duty in 2004.
