Former Manchester United star Gordon Strachan has hailed Sir Alex Ferguson's efforts in persuading Paul Scholes to quit his retirement.
Scholes has enjoyed a dream return to the Manchester United team since his shock comeback at the turn of the year. And Strachan, who played under Fergie at Aberdeen and United, believes the move is all down to the 37-year-old's loyalty to his mentor.
"He's coming back to help out the person who has helped him most in his career: Ferguson.
"He's also helping the people at the club and the people behind the scenes who we don't know about.
"He was meeting Manchester United supporters and they were saying 'We're a bit short in midfield' - and so he says 'I can help'.
