First Sir Alex, now Scholes!

[Lingstar]

Paul Scholes' confirmed his second retirement today (may have been before today but the first I saw of it was this evening!)

I know it was bound to happen soon but we only really have Giggs and maybe Ferdinand/Evra left of the old team before it's a completely new era with Moyes.

Anybody have any players in the United squad they think could step up to the roles of Scholes/Giggs?

Cleverley is my Scholes choice, as obvious as it may be.

We've already replaced Scholes with Carrick. He's been like a new signing. I think more or less everyone knew Scholes was going to retire this season. Sad to see, but he's contributed so much. He'll get his ovation in the next home game.

I honestly don't see Cleverely reaching Scholes' level and I like the guy. Giggs will go soon still IMO, interested to see what happens with Rooney. Expect Man U to finally pick up Baines too.

 

[Lingstar]

I think we could cope without Rooney. Didn't even think of Carrick like a Scholes, I think it's because he's about 100 times calmer but you're right, he's been our heartbeat this season!

Cleverley could get there I think, depends on who molds him now.

I hate when legends retire in any sport.
