Scholes predicts Man Utd will finish season champions

Paul Scholes is confident Manchester United will use all their experience to overhaul Manchester City the current leaders of the Premier League. Scholes, who was tempted out of retirement earlier this month, stepped off the substitutes' bench on Sunday as United beat Arsenal 2-1 at Emirates Stadium to keep up the pressure in the title race.

"I don't think I've had too big an effect," Scholes told Sky Sports News.

"Obviously both teams won so we are still where we were.

"I think we had the tougher game because it is always more difficult to go away, and we've got the three points.

"There's still three months of the season to go and hopefully we'll be in the right place when the time comes."

Asked if he was confident of clinching a 20th league title, Scholes added: "We hope so. That is the plan.

"Obviously City are going well at the minute but we are only three points behind and funny things can happen towards the end of the season.

"We just have to make sure we look after ourselves and get the right results."
