Paul Scholes has amazingly come out of retirement and will play for Manchester United until the end of the season it has been announced today.
Rumours has been circulating that Scholes had told some United players that he’d be willing to return to the club after retiring at the end of last season, but he was reluctant to go directly to the United manager. Well now it seems apparent that he has in fact been in touch, and he will be once again playing for the team at a time when there current midfield looks very weak – no Tom Cleverly, or Ashley Young, and with other defenders out Carrick has had to play defensive roles at time, along with Valencia.
The news was broken on the official MUFC website, with Scholes going straight into the squad to face Man City in todays FA Cup match.

Paul Scholes is back at Man United? I don’t think this is good for the club. I think he is old now. They need new midfielders
Leigh
I don’t think its bad for the club at all – they have got a quality proven midfielder for nothing who can inspire and influence the team. Yes they need a new midfielder but Scholes can do a job for them until the Summer when Fletcher and Cleverley will be back in the game.

Totally agree with you Leigh, I think its right that its the equivalent of United signing another top-quality midfielder on a free. I think Cleverley has the attributes to take over Scholes’ role in the future, but for now they need him back in the squad for the rest of the season to allow players like Cleverley to bed in a little, once he returns from injury.
