The Manchester United boss had some choice words for the midfielder but claimed that he will not urge to extend his current contract.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394 return from retirement has undoubtedly been one of the main reasons why Manchester United have taken the title race right down to the wire.
At one stage of the season, the Red Devils were trailing their ‘Noisy Neighbours’ by an almost ten point margin, but thanks to the veteran Englishman they have managed to around their fortunes and in his absence have clearly struggled.
Fergie’s are now three points clear at the top going into the Manchester derby, which if they win will surely secure title number twenty. Scholes will no doubt be raring to go on Monday, as his form has been lethal and even better than it was last year.
With his pin point passing and ability to play diagonal balls to the wingers, he is commodity which is ultra-rare in the modern game. This coupled with his modesty off the pitch, make him a manager’s dream and Ferguson is lucky to have availed his services
for the last twenty years or so.
And while many coaches will be tempted to offer the 37-year-old a new deal, the Scot claims that he will wait for the player’s own decision and will not put added pressure on him.
“I’m not going to ask him until the end of the season, I don’t want to put anything in his mind at all. It was a break for us to get http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-c29347 back. The form he’s showing now is as good as it’s ever been.”
“He brings a calmness to the game and he can dictate the tempo of matches for us. He’s been doing that since he’s come back. He’s probably in better form than he was last season, because when he made his decision to retire it would have been in his mind
that it was his last season and maybe it did affect him.”
United are reportedly gearing up for the crunch derby with a trip to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wales-c3041 this weekend, so that the players can get their head straight and approach the Etihad Stadium with their minds relaxed and confident.
