Scholes to seek second opinion on blurred vision

ALEX FERGUSON will send Paul Scholes to see a second specialist next week in an attempt to discover the reason for his blurred vision.

The Manchester United midfielder initially suffered a bang on the head during the Premiership draw at Birmingham on December 28.

Scholes immediately visited a local specialist for a scan which showed nothing and was told the problem would probably clear up in a fortnight.

However, the 31-year-old is still struggling, leaving Ferguson little option other than to seek an alternative diagnosis.

“We are purely guessing what is wrong at the moment, so we will send him to another specialist next week,” said the Manchester United boss.

“It is an unusual situation because the first one we sent him to is regarded as one of the top specialists in the world.

“The message we got back then was that the situation should clear up okay but Paul’s vision is still blurred, so we are going to seek some clarification on the situation and see if they can diagnose something we can treat,” Ferguson added.

But after almost a month waiting for his vision to return, there is understandable concern in the United camp at the precise nature of Scholes’ problem.
