Funnily Enough We Have Never Had One Enquiry For Paul Scholes. You Know Why? Because They All Know He Will Never Leave. In My Time He Would Be In The Top Six Or Seven (best United Players Ever) Without A Doubt. His Contribution And Quality Have Been Great, Even Without The Fantastic Goals He Has Scored. [ . . . ] He Has That Wonderful Velvet Touch On The Ball. When He Gets It, It Goes Stone Dead. It Is Wonderful To See That Amidst All The Mayhem That Can Happen In A Football Match.
