Man Utd's Scholes: I want to score more

Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes rates his recent scoring record as not good enough.

"You still want to impress, but the coaches are always asking how you feel and whether you want to take a day off here or there," said Scholes.

One area that Scholes is looking to improve is his goal tally, having scored only six times over the past two years.

He added: "My goals have dried up a bit in recent years and I'd like to get back scoring a few.

"When I was younger, I used to get forward a lot more than I do now.

"I think the manager expects me to stay in the middle of the park nowadays and pass to the players who can go forward and score.

"I'd still like to get forward every now and then and chip in, but you just have to play however the manager wants you to play."
