Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has turned down the chance to become one of David Moyes' new look coaching team at Old Trafford. Last week, deals were completed to bring in Phil Neville and Ryan Giggs as first team coaches.
Paul Scholes retired from playing at the end of last season and has been widely tipped to eventually become a member of the backroom team at United. However, it has now been confirmed that the former player wants to take some time off with his family and then return to football after that.<br />
"I wanted to make sure I had connections to what happened here," Moyes explained, "I spoke to Paul Scholes as well. He wants to have some time off with his family.<br />
"Paul was fantastic with me and wanted to help a lot. I probably spent an hour or two on the phone with him. He wants to spend time with his family at the moment. We'll bring him in when he's ready."
