Ferguson convinced Man Utd icon Scholes has big coaching future

Former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is convince Paul Scholes has a big future in coaching.

Scholes has returned to the club following Ryan Giggs' interim appointment.

Ferguson, speaking at a charity event, praised Scholes: "Paul is one of these guys who has few words but the few words are so succinct, accurate and to the point, he is brilliant at it.

"Many times I would bring in the older guard to discuss certain things that we maybe wanted their opinion on. Scholesy had three or four words - bang, bang, bang ... he was such a revelation for me for a young man to be so positive, a decision maker.

"Ryan will get the benefit of that now. That was the first thing Ryan did, he phoned up Scholesy, he was on holiday and called him back."
