Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has spoken about his return to the club in 2012, revealing he had to knock on the doors of Mike Phelan and Sir Alex Ferguson to request to come back.
Scholes retired from playing in 2011 after first appearing for the Red Devils in 1993, but came out of that retirement upon seeing United struggling for options during an injury crisis half a year after hanging up his boots.
Scholes, considered one of the best central midfield players the Premier League has ever seen, revealed that he had a burning desire to return, and needed to go to assistant boss Phelan's office to talk about coming back, followed by a daunting visit to main man Ferguson.
