Sir Alex Ferguson Hails Paul Scholes

Sir Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Fer­guson was full of praise for Paul Scholes after the player starred in a cent­ral mid­field role against Bolton Wan­der­ers at Old Traf­ford last Sat­urday. The Manchester United ever­green, who scored the open­ing goal shortly be­fore the in­ter­val, en­joyed an ex­cel­lent game un­til he was re­placed by Ryan Giggs in the 69th minute.

Paul Scholes is the epi­tome of a Sir Alex Fer­guson player, pas­sion­ate and not afraid of hard work. The Man­cunian turned pro­fes­sional at the age of 18 and made his Premier League de­but for Manchester United when he came on as a sub­sti­tute in a nar­row 3–2 de­feat against Ipswich Town at Port­man Road in Septem­ber 1994. A long serving club stal­wart, Paul Scholes ini­tially made his re­tire­ment from the game of foot­ball shortly after the Cham­pi­ons League Fi­nal against Bar­celona at Wemb­ley in May 2011.
