Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes is retaining a positive outlook ahead of the second leg of his side's Champions League quarter-final against Porto in Portugal tomorrow night. The tie is currently poised at 2-2 after last week's Old Trafford first leg, so United must win tomorrow's game if they are to progress as they trail on away goals."It is a big game for us and there is no doubt it is going to be difficult," Scholes told The Manchester Evening News.
"But all we have to do is win a game and with the players we have got I am sure we are capable of doing that.
"Winning last Saturday does boost your confidence and going into a big game like Porto we needed that win. It was a big victory for us at Sunderland.
"We didn't play too great but the win is what matters."
United won 2-1 on Wearside, with Italian teenager Federico Macheda netting a slightly fortuitous winner. Scholes thinks that the youngster might have a crucial role to play in United's future.
He concluded, "It is great for Kiko [Macheda]. To be able to bring a young player on like that and he scores with his second touch is fantastic.
"He looks like a great goalscorer and, hopefully, there will be more to come. I am sure the lads will make sure he keeps his feet on the ground."
