Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes says he accepts he cannot play regularly any longer.

Should United finish the campaign on top, Scholes would be collecting his 10th title this season, a number only Ryan Giggs can surpass.

Given the importance of their trip to Sunderland, Scholes is almost certain to be called upon again, although he can offer no guarantees about the state of his mind this weekend.

"Experience has brought a calmness so far," he smiled. "Whether we start panicking this weekend I don't know.

"I am not sure how much the manager had it in his mind that he would have to call upon us.

"He knows we have experienced it all before and we know what it takes.

"He has his reasons for doing it. Hopefully it works."
