Rumours have often linked Paul Scholes with a move to his hometown club, Oldham, when he is no longer good enough for Manchester United.
Sir Alex Ferguson reckons after two decades at the top there is no way Scholes will be going down to League One to play.
“I don’t think this is Paul’s last season,” said Ferguson. “What else has he got? He’s a football man. He isn’t going to drop down through the leagues, I’m sure of that. “Once you’ve played for United for as long as he has – almost 20 years, Christ – what else are you going to do? I’ve read stuff about him going to play for Oldham in his last year. No chance. It’s difficult to say, but at the moment we’re seeing the fresh Scholesy. But it’s only September. We’ll have to look at the season as a whole and see what happens. He won’t be playing the entire season, but that’s why we’ve got a squad of players. He’ll miss more than he plays, but if I can get 25 games out of him at the level we saw against Spurs and Besiktas, we’ll be delighted with that. I don’t think this will be his last season, not the way he plays. He’s not the type that bursts into the penalty box these days, is he?”
gingerprince…
if he done as a player i hope he continue as our coach to pass the midfield knowledge to ando…gibson…ljajic…petrucci…possebon…with scholes guidance we going to be dominating the league for a long time…

Scholes at his peak was the best player in the world. If he was in the spotlight more often, he would have won all the awards.
I don’t want to see Giggsy ever retire ever. What a player. Best of all time. Finest player to not play in a World Cup.
Just saw that Suhayl Isap has won a competition.Again.
Where is he though?He’s not commented in a long while.
Why do I have a feeling Scholes, Giggs & Neville will retire together -.-

Just sit back and admire.
@Marq
the day this three musketeers retired…it will be the saddest day of my life as a manchester united fan…
more than a player its scholes attitude and love for united and football is what makes him great.not only him but also gigsy and neville.
to be frank i cant see this attitude in anyone in current players.
scholes is a legend.
@GHTT, You should get a vid of emily singing a few united chants in disneyland.
Paul Scholes is my BELIEVE~ he was and still is my fave and greatest Utd player ever…not only for his footballing genius but for his character towards football and life…he’s maybe our RELUCTANT HERO…but he’ll forever be our TRUE RED LEGEND!!A player that I avnt see anyone (current player) who can get closer to his ability…his accurate passes, his SPECIAL awareness, his intelligent vision, his ability to create spaces when there’s NONE! His timing run into the box~, indestructable mentality and character and probably we would also miss his inability to tackle~ All in all nobody come closer to what he CAN do! LEGENDDDDD!!!
Thinking about his retirement is unimanginable…I don’t know how it would be like for me seeing Utd without him…Worshiping him for tha last 2 decades need a long time to get used to when he’s not around….so for now every second he played means and appreciated more than ever.
Wish Scholesy stay fit all season long.
