The veteran midfielder reiterated that he wasn’t asked to play for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in the European Championships, but would have done so if the manager requested him.
Following his return from retirement, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paul-Scholes-c29394, exhibited such class and elegance on the field that a surprise call-up to the National team became the favourite topic in the footballing headlines.
The Three Lions were already stuttering due to a change in managers and midfield seemed to be a main problem, as they lacked tenacity and creativity going forward.
Scholes, despite his age, looked backed to his best at Old Trafford creating and scoring chances with ease and helping the Red Devils match their cross-ton rivals.
While he wasn’t able to lift the Premier League in the end, he should have been taken to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032, which is something must pundits and the public also agreed with.
However he stayed at home and saw his country being run ragged by the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, while contemplating what could have been.
Now he has finally revealed that if he had been contacted at the right time, he would have returned to the National team fold and helped them in their quest for silverware.
"I wasn't offered the chance. It was flattering to be talked about. But I wasn't asked so it means nothing,” he said.
He also talked about United’s dramatic title loss, claiming that the thought of Manchester City lifting the title will forever be etched in his mind.
"It's always a motivating force when you lose the league," he explained from his side's pre-season tour of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757. It's not nice to see another team celebrate winning the title on the last day of the season. That picture stays with you,” the attacker
was quoted as saying.
With the campaign starting next month, United have been adding new recruits to their line-up in a bid to win back the title from their ‘Noisy Neighbours’. But even though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Shinji-Kagawa-c33364 and Nick Powell are burgeoning with talent, they are unlikely to be ahead
of the master magician Scholes in Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s pecking order.
