Paul Scholes has told Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson he only wants a
place in a potential Champions League final on merit.
Ferguson says Scholes is guaranteed a spot if they reach Moscow after he was
suspended for the 1999 triumph, but Scholes says:
"If we get there, I want to be there on merit.
"I don't want no sympathy vote. If I'm not playing well, the manager's not going
to say, 'You missed the final 10 years ago, go and play for 10 minutes'. I wouldn't
read too much into that one."
Scholes, 33, also admits he's trying to make the most of the final years of his
career.
He told the Independent on Sunday:
"There was always going to be a time when someone came in who's young and
sprightly, with a lot of ability and will keep you out of the team. I know there
probably isn't that much time left, so you have to try to enjoy it as much as you
can, coming to training, playing games. I hope it's a long time away. I just want
to concentrate on playing for as long as possible."
If that eventually means moving on from United, so be it.
"It won't be far, I'm very much a home person," he says.
