Paul Scholes hints at retirement

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has hinted he could retire at the end of the season even though the club are ready to offer him a new deal.

Scholes has only just returned from a groin injury that kept him on the sidelines for the big part of the season and he admits his future remains in doubt.

“I don’t know what I’m doing next year,” said the midfielder. “I just want to concentrate on getting back playing for now.

“I like to have a week or two off at Christmas. This one just stretched out a bit longer, which has not been ideal.

“Hopefully in the next few weeks I can regain some fitness.”

Sir Alex Ferguson is ready to offer Scholes a new one-year deal and he will do everything to persuade the midfielder to continue for another season.
