Redknapp eyes Scholes international return

Harry Redknapp has sensationally revealed that he would recall Paul Scholes out of international retirement if he takes the vacant England hotseat. Manchester United recently offered Scholes a six month contract at Old Trafford, ending his football hiatus.

Redknapp would also try to persuade Scholes to appear for the international team as well, if he is thrust into the hot seat.


Redknapp is currently the favourite to take the vacant seat as England manager.


"Age does not matter," Redknapp said. "Look at Paul Scholes. Let's be honest, you would love to have him at the European Championships. He's that good. He plays like the Spaniards, like Xavi, or [Andres] Iniesta - he does not give the ball away."
