Man Utd boss Ferguson: Scholes will be better for injury break

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has no doubts about Paul Scholes as he returns from injury this week.

After being given a week off to rest a persistent groin strain, he hopes he can return quickly to first-team action.

Fergie told the Daily Star Sunday: "Scholes is not the type who likes to miss training but we just had to tell him to have a week off.

"He came in on Thursday and felt a lot better. Over the years he's had his spells out and that's what makes him more remarkable.

"He was out for four months with his eye injury and has had two knee operations over the last few years. He's been out for three or four months at a time and come back.

"He's always come back right in form. This latest break won't have done him any harm."
