Paul Scholes Is Ready For Battle

Paul Scholes

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Fer­guson has con­firmed that Paul Scholes will re­turn to the side for the match against As­ton Villa. The smooth passing mid­field gen­eral was res­ted for the en­counter with neigh­bour­ing Wigan Ath­letic at DW Sta­dium on Wed­nes­day where Manchester United suffered an em­bar­rass­ing 1– 0 defeat.

Ever­green Paul Scholes has been in out­stand­ing form re­cently and his ab­sence from the Manchester United first team was no doubt felt against a highly com­pet­ent Wigan Ath­letic side dur­ing mid­week. After mak­ing a sur­prise re­turn against bit­ter crosstown ad­versar­ies Manchester City back in Janu­ary, the ever con­sist­ent and de­pend­able mid­field play­maker has en­joyed an as­ton­ish­ing comeback so far this cam­paign. For­tu­nately for Manchester United, Paul Scholes is pre­pared and ready for the battle against Alex McLeish´s As­ton Villa play­ers at Old Traf­ford this Sunday as Sir Alex Ferguson´s title chal­lengers look for three im­port­ant points. Nev­er­the­less, the up­com­ing meet­ing against The Vil­lains could be a dif­fi­cult match for The Manchester Reds be­cause the strug­gling vis­it­ors will get ten men be­hind the ball and put the pres­sure on the home side. Eric Har­rison: “What hap­pens with Paul Scholes, I think he likes some­body to tell him, not how good he is be­cause he’s been told that a mil­lion times, but for some­body to tell him he can go on longer.”
