In a recent interview with Manchester United's official website, Manchester United legend Paul Scholes expressed great appreciation and anticipation for the return of two former teammates, Van Nistelrooy and Fletcher. Scholes first expressed his joy for the return of these two old friends, believing that their return not only injects new vitality into United, but also because of their brilliant achievements and rich experience in their careers, which can provide valuable guidance and help to the younger generation of the team.
Scholes particularly emphasized the important roles of Van Nistelrooy and Fletcher during United's successful period, who knew how to win games and how to pass on the winning gene to those who came after them. He hopes that these two seniors can selflessly pass on their knowledge and experience to the young players who have yet to taste victory, helping them to be more comfortable with the challenges in future matches and fight for United's honor.
In addition, Scholes spoke about the upcoming charity match against Celtic Legends at Old Trafford. He said that while the game will maintain a relaxed atmosphere in the build-up to the match, he and his teammates will give their best once they step onto the pitch and show their best athleticism. Scholes emphasized that while the game itself is entertaining, it is more important to raise money, engage fans and support the United Foundation's charitable programs to bring love and support to those in need.
In the interview, Scholes also revealed his recent absence from soccer due to injury. He confessed that he has not played soccer since he was injured in a soccer aid match, but this has not diminished his love for soccer and his desire to return to the field. Scholes said that he is looking forward to the day when he can once again put on the Manchester United kit and bring great games to the fans.
