Scholes doesn't expect Man Utd return

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes doesn't expect to be part of Louis van Gaal's coaching staff.

Scholes is yet to hear from the club's new manager and feels it is "probably a bit too late now" in terms of being offered a coaching position by them.

Asked on Wednesday what the situation was with him and United, Scholes - an ambassador for Men United v Prostate Cancer, speaking at a promotional event for the campaign - told Press Association Sport: "It's no different.

"I have not spoken to the new manager and there is no need for him to speak to me really.

"I only helped Ryan for a few weeks at the end of the season and I wasn't on a contract.

"I didn't have a job with the club and that is no different now."

Then asked if he would be interested if an offer was forthcoming from United, Scholes said: "It is probably a bit too late now. I couldn't wait around forever."
