Oldham Athletic are set to appoint Richie Wellens as manager on a full-time basis after a spell as caretaker, BBC Radio Manchester understands.

Former Latics midfielder Wellens was recommended for the job by Scholes and has overseen a five-game unbeaten run.

The club have called a news conference for 14:30 BST.
