It also has six reception rooms and an ‘executive detached house’ located within the landscaped grounds.

The lavish home was bought by Scholes soon after the 1998 World Cup but then underwent a complete refurbish and redesign by top architects in 2015.

Two months ago, it was reported that Claire had moved out of the home and was living 20 minutes away.

She was also photographed without her wedding ring, prompting speculation the couple’s marriage had hit the rocks.

Scholes, who is worth an estimated £27 million, and Claire are said to be ‘devastated.’

A source said: ‘You have to feel for them as they both value family above everything else. They’ve been together forever, and nobody saw this coming.’

Scholes met Claire in his local pub when they were 18 and they married six years later. He famously cited missing her as the reason for retiring from the England team in 2004, aged just 29 while at the peak of his career.

Scholes, 45, has put his luxurious seven-bedroom mansion (pictured) described as one of the ‘finest homes in Saddleworth,’ Greater Manchester, on the market on sale for £3.85million

The plush seven-bedroom pad has  six bathrooms and reception rooms across three floors and is nestled in a private location

The 13,000 square foot property is being advertised on the Rightmove website which describes it as ‘pristine,’ and ‘standout’ boasting that it is a ‘credit to the current owners.’

It adds: ‘When viewing, it becomes evident the amount of time and consideration that has gone into this exceptional property…which can only be truly appreciated in person.’

The home is surrounded by landscaped gardens and lies behind large electric gates. It has an undercover arrivals area with parking for numerous vehicles as well as a triple garage with remote electric doors. It also comes with its own five-a-side football pitch, gym, golf putting range and a children’s play area.

He is also co-owner of Salford City along with fellow United icons David Beckham, Phil and Gary Neville , Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs.
