Last year, she also made her senior debut for England, helping the Red Roses beat South Africa to secure a 2-1 series victory in Nottingham. And she has also helped lend a hand when her father decided to set up a new gym.
Back in 2022, Alicia and Arron, two of Scholes’ children, joined their father in helping to run a new state-of-the-art gym in Oldham, the United legend’s hometown.

The Scholes’ invested £500,000 on the massive 10,000 square feet development, with the aim being to cater for those who want to push themselves to the next level with new machines and fitness classes following the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking about opening the gym, Scholes said: “Oldham is where I grew up and got a first taste of sport. To open Scholes Gym here is really important to me.
