Manchester United star Paul Scholes admits he could finish his career in the colours of Oldham Athletic.

While ruling out a return to the England fold, Scholes admitted he'd like to play for Oldham, the club that he supported as a kid.

"As for Oldham, you just don't know what will happen in the future... I suppose it could happen, you never really know," Scholes told the Manchester Evening News.

I expect this to happen in 3/4 years time.

It would be a sad day for United fans everywhere.

But you have to respect him for not forgetting where he came from.

Not something I want to think about right now. I'd rather focus on watching him now while we have him :)

[Anderson's God]

In his last year or 2 I can see it happening!

i think this coould happen but not for a few years yet, scholes is a player who has never relied on pace, he's always been slow but he has a great football brain- this will enable him to prolong his career at the top

When he's about to retire and way past his best he'll probably spend a season or two there and fair play to him, I would :)

he will always be a united legend wherever he goes..

the day he leaves united will be a sad day

[theregan]

Fair play to him.... He has been loyal to us for so many years. He doesnt even have an agent!!!

The rest of the players should take note.

crying shame he's never been in contention for european player of the year, bona fide genius

[reddwarf]

I wonder what the odds on him becoming player/manager of Oldham in a few years time are...

Well said AC. Hopefully he'll be at United for years to come. He deserves to wind down his career at Oldham if thats what he wants.
