Scholes pens new four-year contract with United
Manchester United have confirmed influential midfielder Paul Scholes has signed a four-year extension to his current contract.
The 30-year-old former England international has always been regarded as a crucial member of Sir Alex Ferguson's squad, and though he has faced increased competition for his place in recent times, the Red Devils have moved quickly to secure his services until 2009.
Scholes has made 321 Premiership appearances for United and is expected to be involved in tomorrow's season opener at Everton.
His United team-mate Rio Ferdinand today also signed a new four-year contract with United.
'Paul has given us 16 great years of service,' said Ferguson. 'We hope his next four years is as good as his last four years. He has deserved our loyalty because he has given us plenty back.'
Scholes famously missed the 1999 Champions League final through suspension but has been involved in all United's other major triumphs over the past decade, picking up six Premier League titles.
He has also won three FA Cups, although he did miss the crucial penalty in the shoot-out defeat to Arsenal last May. |
