http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... -exit.htmlPaul Scholes plans to retire once and for all at the end of this season as Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson prepares for another summer shake-up at Old Trafford.
United midfielder Scholes has told friends that he intends to bow out in May and that this time he will not be back.
Ferguson is also facing up to the probability that another veteran, Ryan Giggs, will leave his one and only club this summer, and the manager is aware that defender Rio Ferdinand has yet to indicate publicly whether he wishes to extend his contract.
Welshman Giggs is a year older than Scholes and is also on a one-year contract. He has played only eight times in the Barclays Premier League this season and has also seen his influence on the field drop off significantly in recent months.
Giggs has not made his own mind up yet but said recently: 'When I do finish playing, I'll try to find the next best thing. Management does interest me. The nearer I get to finishing, the more I think about it. All I can do is prepare myself as best I can for when I do finish.
'I've been doing my coaching courses with Nev (Gary Neville) - levels one, two, A-Licence. We're starting the Pro-Licence next year.'
Giggs hopes to compete in a couple of triathlons and Scholes may be handed a coaching role at Old Trafford.
Hmmmmmm
