Capello will make new approach to Man Utd veteran Scholes

England coach Fabio Capello is ready to approach Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes again about ending his international retirement.

The Guardian says Scholes could yet be offered a return to the England set-up after it emerged that Capello is to ask the Manchester United midfielder to clarify his publicly expressed sense of regret at having declined a late invitation to be included in the World Cup squad.

The national coach will seek to determine once and for all whether Scholes has any appetite to end his self-imposed international exile and play a part in England's qualification campaign for Euro 2012. Capello watched the 35-year-old impress yet again in United's 2-2 draw at Fulham yesterday, with Scholes scoring the opening goal and maintaining his fine start to the season.
