He's only two-and-a-half years into his second retirement but it seems the prospect of playing the beautiful game for a third time, doesn't appeal to Paul Scholes.
Since ending a trophy-laden Manchester United career with the 2012-13 Premier League title, the former England midfielder has focused his attentions on working as a pundit and co-owning Salford City.
Salford side have reached the first round of the FA Cup for the first-time in their history and during that run could have had Scholes line-up for them. A thought far from the realm of the 40-year-old's imagination as revealed in upcoming BBC documentary 'Class of '92: Out of Their League'.
