Manchester United icon Paul Scholes was pleased with how his body coped with his comeback last season.
Scholes missed preseason before making his shock return in January.
He said: "It went well on when I came. My fitness and football were fine so the manager didn't have to twist my arm or anything to play again this season.
"He just said, 'You're going to play next year aren't you?' and I just said 'Yeah'.
"I had no plans either way - whatever the manager wanted me to do, that was going to happen.''
