Young is #18 and he probably wont be sold.. so I guess.Bit of a silly question, but I take it he'll still be #22?
Does it not worry you in the slightest that we are relying on 2 38 year olds who are surely now in going into their last season at the club without any clue of who may be replacing them?Can people stop moaning about "oh another reason to not sign a midfielder". It's a bit embarrassing. Scholes is a one off. Enjoy him while he's here.
Can people stop living in the past and with rose tinted glasses on, we need midfield investment and have for years, all this sentimentality is embarrassing.Can people stop moaning about "oh another reason to not sign a midfielder".

christ man compose yourself. the season ended yesterday. all thats happened is that our best player this season has signed a contract. we'll sign a midfielder for feck sake,chill out and be gladDoes it not worry you in the slightest that we are relying on 2 38 year olds who are surely now in going into their last season at the club without any clue of who may be replacing them?
Far too many spoilt brats on here. I cringe everytime I read the 'value' posts. You'd think people would have more respect for Sir Alex and the club but apparently notCan people stop moaning about "oh another reason to not sign a midfielder". It's a bit embarrassing.

If Fletch is fully fit, I honestly wouldnt be disappointed with a midfield ofOur summer signings: Scholes, Fletcher, Pogba.
Seriously though, great news.
I think the plan as we all know is to replace Scholes with clev/ando. We just need to see how well clev can actually player over a season. Giggs is more just a part of the squad than anything. It's not like we rely on him in any particular place, he's just a very good squad player who happens to be 38. He doesn't need replacing as we're well stocked out wide. As for scholes like I said I guess we're waiting on how clev and ando do. I hope though this doesn't stop Fergie going in for another centre mid, to not do so would be stupid.Does it not worry you in the slightest that we are relying on 2 38 year olds who are surely now in going into their last season at the club without any clue of who may be replacing them?
Every season is their last season.In the same interview SAF apparently suggests next season is the last one for Scholes & Giggs (?)
Definitely. I've been saying for 3 years that we need midfielders. But its hardly upto Scholes. The kind of form he's shown, he more than deserves another season.Can people stop living in the past and with rose tinted glasses on, we need midfield investment and have for years, all this sentimentality is embarrassing.
One of our best players of last season and one of our greatest of all time signs a new contract one day after the seasons finishes and the first thing you do is moan? This doesn't mean we won't sign anyone ffs, get a grip.Can people stop living in the past and with rose tinted glasses on, we need midfield investment and have for years, all this sentimentality is embarrassing.
Booo-hooooAnd there it is, the excuse to not buy a CM yet again.
Just heard this wonderful news, the best midfielder the Premiership has ever seen.DTguardian
Sir Alex Ferguson interview tonight: confirms Paul Scholes is staying another season #MUFC
He showed decent form over half a season, he admitted himself when he retired he didn't have the legs for a full season, this is just prolonging things.Definitely.

No, that's wr8_utd.Didn't you spend all last summer in the Sniejder thread? And I'll wager it does indeed mean we wont buy in midfield with the same excuses trotted out.
How do you cope with the club mistreating you so, must be horrible ::I know, horrible to want to see our team move forward and address a problem area, top red though you are.
Yes because we've needed one for a long time now, Carrick is the only week in week out reliable CM we have, it's time to move on from the crutch of Scholes and Giggs in my opinion. City will only be stronger and more confident next season.No, that's wr8_utd.
So if QPR didn't collapse in the final 5 minutes do we still need a midfielder? Fine margains. Not saying we don't need to strengthen, but jumping to such a negative conclusion after hearing great news about a fantastic player is odd.
I forgot about needing to be a fanboy sheep on here for things like this.How do you cope with the club mistreating you so, must be horrible ::
I guess I can see where you are coming from, but I'm certain there will be other opportunities, so the games he struggled in he shouldn't be needed, the games he plays can be picked and chosen a bit better, plus hopefully we won't have as bad a time of it with injuriesI guess I'm the only one that's not happy about this.
I'd be really happy if we actually sorted out the midfield and used Scholes as a luxury player when the main midfielders need rest.I guess I'm the only one that's not happy about this.
Not the pyjama top, though, eh?Amazing. I love him.

That tells you something about how hard it is to replace that sort of quality in centre mid. For all the talk of value and such, there is a truth to it. The price tags are huge, we've seen plenty of big buys go poop, and there aren't many top notch centre mids around. Fabregas, Xavi, Sneijder, Hamsik, we've done really well to value British centre mids instead because they've proven themselves in the UK, and they've got a reason to fancy Man Utd. It's not an easy market for us in some ways, that is clear, but at any rate I refuse to say that there could be anything like a tinge to the fact that I will be seeing Scholes for yet another season... I am savouring every minute of these two legends. Raúl got kicked out and still looks quality, Del Piero's situation is uncertain, Maldini's called it quits, and figures like Nevilles, Giggses and Scholeses are rare and wonderful as feck.Does it not worry you in the slightest that we are relying on 2 38 year olds who are surely now in going into their last season at the club without any clue of who may be replacing them?
Hah, it's true... I've totally gotten unstuck from the mire of the agonising sucker punch that was yesterday's finale I'm all smiley about football again.We needed some good news. Football is okay again
