Former Man Utd star Scholes comes out of retirement

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has come out of retirement to take part in India’s Premier Futsal League.
The 41-year-old Trafford legend’s decision was announced by the Premier Futsal league’s social media channels on Thursday morning.
He joins the likes of Deco and futsal legend Falcao in the competition as well as the one-time Barcelona and Real Madrid winger Luis Figo who is the league’s president.
The man recognized as the world’s best futsal player, Falcão, will also take part and Virat Kohli, the India international cricketer, has been named as one of Premier Futsal’s brand ambassadors.

The competition will see eight city-based ‘franchises’ compete over a 3-week period to be crowned the inaugural Premier Futsal league champions.
Scholes, who won 11 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues over the course of glittering 21-year-long association with United, initially retired from football in 2011.
The following year, the then-United manager Sir Alex Ferguson persuaded him to re-join the squad and provide cover in central midfield.
