Manchester United hero Paul Scholes feels time on the bench can be good for Harry Maguire.

The club captain was again benched for victory at Southampton today.

Scholes reckons Maguire can benefit from the time out if he comes back in off the back of United winning streak.

He said, "Well not unless Raphael Varane or one of the others gets injured, that's the only way he gets back into this team.

"That is something he has to hope for. But it will do him good if the team goes on a winning streak.

"It will be tough for him because no player likes to be left out. But I think it's the right thing and it will do him good in the long run.

"If United can get a six, seven [or] eight game run going when they're winning games and he comes back into a confident team because he will still get a lot of games.

"Varane with his injury problems, the League Cup, the Europa League games - he won't want to play in those but if United can get a run of form going, it will be easier to integrate him."
