Scholes ready for SA trip. Jul 10, 2006 14:49:53 GMT

Paul Scholes is looking forward to Manchester United's pre-season trip to South Africa as the midfielder continues his quest for full fitness.

The former England international missed much of the second half of last season due to an eye problem.

He returned as a substitute in the final day victory over Charlton Athletic and hopes to be at peak condition for the start of the new Premiership campaign.

Scholes is part of the United squad which jets out to South Africa this week and he is excited by the prospect of games against Kaiser Chiefs and Orlando Pirates.

"It's about getting fitness back," Scholes told MUTV. "Whoever you play you know you're going to have to work hard.

"South African football is good, especially their national team, so I think they will be testing games for us.

"United have got fans all over the world. They're looking forward to seeing us play and we're looking forward to going and playing in front of them."

Scholes' Red Devils colleague Wes Brown is equally keen to resume playing as he looks to get his competitive edge back.

Brown said: "It's important getting into the roll of things.

"Playing these pre-season games is something that you do need to make sure you are sharp for the new season.

"You need to get your match fitness back and playing matches is the best way to do that. It will be a good test for us."

I can’t wait until he’s back playing again.

Excellent. I'll just add this to it aswell for a read

From www.manutd.com

Paul Scholes is eager to build up his fitness in readiness for the new Premiership season, and believes the forthcoming tour of South Africa is the ideal way to prepare.

United travel to South Africa later this week, where they will play three matches - against Kaiser Chiefs, Orlando Pirates, and then the winner of those two teams.

Scholes was among the group of Reds players - minus those involved in the World Cup finals in Germany - that returned to training in Manchester on 3 July. He missed almost five months of action with a serious eye injury last season, making his comeback on the final day of the season in the 4-0 win over Charlton. Now Scholes is eager for more games.

"It's about getting fitness back," he told MUTV. "Whoever you play you know you’re going to have to work hard. South African football is good, especially their national team, so I think they will be testing games for is."

Wes Brown, another of the United players heading to South Africa, added: "It's important getting into the roll of things. Playing these pre-season games is something that you do need to make sure you are sharp for the new season. You need to get your match fitness back and playing matches is the best way to do that. It will be a good test for us."
Scholes is looking forward to putting on a show for the club's legions of supporters in South Africa. He added: "United have got fans all over the world. They’re looking forward to seeing us play and we’re looking forward to going and playing in front of them."

He'll never leave United, they will make him a scout and i think he will be a damn good one aswell, Neville will always be involved as will Giggs im sure,

Neville will become a coach, he will lead the way into the new class to teach at the youth setup

On their timetabel they will have

Hating Scousers 3pm Mr Neville

Giggs could be a coach definately, I see him working with the youth team actually, I don't think he has the sort of outgoing personality to work with the first team but he'd be great at molding the youngens into little giggs'! Yeh Scholes could be a scout, lets hope his eye problem heels, bit of a problem for a scout that is. And Neville would make a great tea lady, nah he'd be a great manager one day I'm sure!
