He shouldn't have retired last year, I feel. It made no sense when he was still our only creative force in midfield and still pretty decent at that. It'd take him a while to get back to match fitness after seven months away from football though so I cannot see it.
Needs bulking up.
He was declining rapidly, became a liability towards the end, particularly in that FA Cup game against Manchester City. It's tempting to remember him at the start of the season, and the end of the previous one where he was an absolute joy to behold, but that wasn't the reality towards the end.
It would.make.more.sense to bring VdS back . btw i pray we dont recall GNev 
Well it fecking would. at least he wouldnt lack pace
If he doesn't come back, lock this thread, delete it and kill the OP....using any means necessary
I could bum him to death.
And the last thing we want is bring back an old (albeit pretty good)player to this shower of shite that we have been playing in the last weeks. Better reinforce before next season.

Rubbish notion. Scholes retired because he himself knew he couldn't contribute any more. We don't need that Scholes back at all.
It would be embarrassing to see Scholes return. On the pitch it would help us out a bit but frankly Ferguson does not deserve it.
What is this supposed to mean? ffs..
First Lamps and now this?!?!? feck me the journos are really clutching at straws
What?
The feck are you on about..?
I know there is almost no chance.
But please god let this miracle happen.
I would cry with joy to see Scholes back in action.

Semi erect
Can't see it happening but I'm loving the fantasy
He comes straight out of retirement, starts on Sunday, schools every mutha on the pitch whilst we cruise through and then he retires straight after and is back coaching the kids on Monday morning

City 2-3 United [Scholes OG '81 '83 ; Scholes '85 '87 '89 ; Scholes RED '90]
He'll probably call him Gingritto then
Heat of the moment post i hope, probably fuelled by a few bevvies?
Take a deep breath mate & look what Fergie has done for us. Cleverely was gonna be the player we needed, its just rotten luck. He'll be back soon tho, so calm down big lad - calm down - calm down
Paul Scholes could probably manage nicely in matches like Bolton or Blackburn at home (sigh)
But honestly - Scholes would have no chance against good teams especially away - he was struggling last season for pace, and now he isn't even matchfit.
And what signal would it send to the younger players - we would rather use a 37 year old who resigned the summer before and lacks match-practice, than an ambitious 19 year old.
Ferguson has to think a bit further ahead than 1 month - and using Scholes could have damaging effects on the young players.

Another story... won't happen simply because it would damage our other midfielders, and young Morrison and Pogba.
A retired midfielder is back, because you are all shite / not ready.

Steve Bruce has some slots available in his diary if we suffer any further defensive injuries.
Won't happen but that's certainly not the reason.
Same as playing a Brazilian right back and Korean winger in midfield because you are all shite/not ready.
I think there's a difference between playing Rafael & Park in midfield and a retired 37-year old footballer.
WTF is this crap are you for real
You know the more I read this the more it pisses me off , You need to come on here and explain what SAF does not deserve.
You may be just a troll put out shit like this and want somebody to bite , well I have bitten , you cant just say shit like this and run
Yes, playing a retired 37-year old who was a midfielder all his career still makes more sense than playing Rafael there.
No thanks, I love Scholesy to bits but his engine is long gone, that was clear in the final months of his career and I doubt things have changed 6 months or so into his retirement.
Well, Arsenal left us no choice bringing back Henry..
I tell you what he'd have helped against Blackburn.
Not against Newcastle, he won't have had the legs for that kind of midfield scrap, but against sides who effectively just park the bus he'd still be lethal for us.
Not saying he should come out of retirement mind you, just that it wouldn't be disastrous if he was used properly.

Not Lampard , please
I'm surprised some of you aren't asking for Beckham to come back too
I'm fairly sure we have a thread entirely for that
Our issue in midfield is the lack of fight and ability to retain the ball by hassling the opponent, which I dont think Scholesy would help us with anyways.
this is basically the media laughing at us... dont feed the monster...........
