Sir Alex Ferguson is in no rush to sort Paul Scholes' Manchester United future and will leave it up to the veteran to decide when to retire. <\/p>\n
Paul Scholes: Will not be rushed into retirement <\/p>\n
Scholes celebrated his 38th birthday on Friday, in the middle of what Ferguson had previously indicated would be the midfielder's final season at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n
However, although he had made only nine appearances this term, Scholes retains an unerring passing ability that is priceless to United's chances of landing some silverware. <\/p>\n
And as it seems the former England man is more comfortable with his role as bit-part player, the chances of Scholes carrying on has not been completely dismissed. <\/p>\n
\"It is not a time to make a judgment on that,\" said Ferguson. \"Paul will know himself. He still has the desire to play. That has not stopped. <\/p>\n
\"He is still the best passer of the ball in the country. It is amazing. <\/p>\n
\"He has had one or two injuries over the years, quit last summer and came back. <\/p>\n
\"He made a fantastic contribution in the second half of the season and I just think he should keep doing what he is doing. <\/p>\n
\"He will sort the rest out himself.\" <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
