Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has revealed he only heard interest in his services once throughout his United career, from Inter Milan.
During his playing days, Scholes was one of the world’s best midfielders in his position, but has revealed he only heard of interest from other clubs once, coming from Inter back in 2000.
“I was never ever made aware of any team coming in for me,” Scholes told BBC Radio 5 Live as quoted by Goal.
“I did have one phone call off an agent, Bryan Robson’s old agent, he rang me while we were away at Euro 2000 to ask me if I would be interested in going to Inter Milan but that’s the only phone call I ever had.
I never heard anything after that and the manager never said anything to me.
“I was playing at my boyhood club, I was a Manchester lad, we were winning trophies all the time.
Scholes added that there was no need to consider a move abroad, because he was already playing for the biggest club in the world, Manchester United.
“If the manager said to me that he didn’t want me I would definitely have gone if there was a big club abroad who wanted me but there was never any need to ever think about Barcelona, Real Madrid or AC Milan because I was at the biggest club in the world anyway.
“We didn’t win as many Champions Leagues as we should have but we were every inch as good as those teams, if not better.”
