Paul Scholes May Extend Contract

Paul Scholes

Manchester United vet­eran Paul Scholes may put his retire­ment plans on hold for another sea­son. The smooth passing mid­field orches­trator ini­tially retired at the end of last cam­paign but he made an unex­pec­ted return to the Manchester United first team in the 3–2 tri­umph against Manchester City at East­lands back in January. 

Paul Scholes signed pro­fes­sional terms with Manchester United in the sum­mer of 1993 and made his Premier League debut in a 3–2 defeat to Ipswich Town at Port­man Road the fol­low­ing year. A cour­ageous and depend­able per­former deployed right in the middle of the park, the club stal­wart has so far amassed well over 600 first class appear­ances for The Manchester Reds. Argu­ably, his most mem­or­able moment as a pro­fes­sional foot­baller came when Manchester United nar­rowly defeated old adversar­ies Bay­ern Munich 2–1 in the UEFA Cham­pi­ons League Final at Camp Nou in Bar­celona in May 1999.
