Scholes has 2 years left in him
Sir Alex Ferguson sung the praises of Paul Scholes on Wednesday, saying he believed he had another two years left in him.
Scholes, 34, returned to action earlier this month two months after suffering knee ligament damage that required corrective surgery, and Ferguson said he was getting back to his best.
"Paul brings an order to a game at times. We saw that in the second half against Aalborg (in the Champions League last week). It was important in helping us take control of the game," he said.
"He has been a fantastic player for us. When he was younger he would score 12-15 goals a season for us. He can't do that now but he brings other things to a game -- his intelligence on the field is terrific."
Ferguson added that Scholes' game hasn't lost anything.
"I mean he's 34 and he's not going to improve but what we're hoping is that he keeps at a level we know he is at now. Hopefully he can retain that for another year, or two years," he said.
"I don't see any discerning negatives about Paul. I hope he can keep it going for a long time."
