We'll see how that works out when Scholesy retires in a few years time. IF Fletch and the others are still around then.

But till then, I have utmost faith in him every time he takes the pitch
Yes 'only'. Danny Simpson made 4 starts for us this season. Ten players made over 30 starts in all competitions. Ferdinand played 50

Carrick and Scholes are first choice because they are far better players GB. And then you have Anderson and Hargreaves, again better players. And that is precisely the point GB, he's 5th choice. And often Fergie prefers O'Shea. You don't need 6 players covering 2 positions. He's surplus to requirements, if he wants to further his career and have a chance of becoming a better player, he needs to find regular football elsewhere. If not, fair enough, it doesn't bother me so much anymore because he plays relatively few games a season. And it's not like the old days, he doesn't look completely out of place. But he's an edges of the fringe player. And that's all he'll ever be here
