Sir Alex Ferguson has defended his shock re-signing of former England midfielder Paul Scholes. Manchester United signed Scholes over a week ago, in time for the FA Cup game against bitter rivals Manchester City.
Many have hit out at Ferguson for the signing, insisting that it is a negative step signing a player who had already quit the game. But Ferguson insisted that the deal can only be good for the club.
"One or two people have been negative and making out it's been a 'regressive step'," said Ferguson.
"How can it be regressive? You're getting a player for nothing who's been part of the club for 20-odd years.
"He's not going to play every game but in terms of composure and passing ability, is there a better player going around? Definitely not."
