Scholes: Fergie could have sold me

Paul Scholes has admitted he was lucky not to be sold by Manchester United after refusing to play a League Cup match in 2001.

Scholes, who retired at the end of last season and has been awarded a testimonial next week against Eric Cantona’s New York Cosmos, played for United his entire career but believes he was lucky to do so after refusing to join a shadow side for the clash against Arsenal.
