Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes says he enjoyed his coaching stint - but it's no substitute for playing.
Scholes began the season working with the youth team, before ending his retirement.
"The coaching was OK but it wasn't anything like playing," the 37-year-old told MUTV.
"I was still coming in every day and seeing players. It was difficult to adjust, I admit that.
"I really missed the playing side up until Christmas, when I went to see the manager."
