Despite all the talk of signing all new players before the World Cup it looks like United have already got the 'equivalent' of a new signing in Paul Scholes. Speaking in South Africa Fergie said:

"Paul Scholes is back - it is as simple as that," said Ferguson.

"It doesn't matter who I am thinking about bringing into my midfield, Paul will be included, as he would in any side in the world.

"He is a fantastic footballer and without question Paul can still have a massive impact on the Premiership. I am delighted to have him back."

"What he experienced last year was a worry because it was the type of injury we had no knowledge of.

"We didn't really know how it happened, therefore we were a bit anxious about it. But, as we got to the end of the season, he started to improve and now he is 100 per cent. He has come through every training session so far. He is only 31 and he still has a good few years ahead of him."
