Scholes gives United contract boost

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed veteran midfielder Paul Scholes has signed a one-year contract extension with Manchester United.

After abandoning his retirement in January, there had been some speculation that the 37-year-old was deliberating whether to extend his career by an additional season.
However, speaking at the Manchester United Player of the Year dinner, Ferguson told MUTV: "It has been done. He is staying."
Ferguson does believe this will be Scholes' last season in a United shirt and will be wary of the midfielder being selected in Roy Hodgson's Euro 2012 squad, as has been suggested.
However, the United boss is convinced Scholes can have a similar impact next season after he almost managed to guide the Red Devils to the title following his comeback.
"I am delighted," said Ferguson. "He knew he had made a mistake. He now realises if he plays 25 or 30 games next season, they will be of real quality. I think this will be Paul's last season. We know him very well. We have had him since he was a kid. We know how to use him."
