Manchester United<\/a> will not have a problem finding a replacement for him.<\/p>\nThe 36-year-old retired at the end of last season after spending the entirety of his 17-year career at Old Trafford.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n
United have been linked with a number of players to replace the midfielder, including Inter’s Wesley Sneijder and Arsenal’s Samir Nasri.<\/p>\nScholes told the Manchester Evening News<\/em>: “I don\u2019t think it is a big deal really replacing me because I haven\u2019t been the type of player people are talking about for the last four or five years.<\/p>\n“I haven\u2019t been scoring goals or been the main playmaker in the team for a while. I don\u2019t think I actually need replacing in that way at all.<\/p>\n
“I wasn\u2019t the pulling the strings anymore, definitely in the last two years and probably even since I was 31-32. I haven\u2019t been as prominent in the side. I wasn\u2019t scoring the goals and I wasn\u2019t making the goals.”<\/p>\n
Scholes made 22 appearances in the Premier League last season and scored one goal, helping the Red Devils to a record 19th league title.<\/p>\n
He added: “I think people are obsessed with having to replace me. If you look at the facts over the last couple of years, I haven\u2019t played in the big games. So I don\u2019t think there is that much that needs replacing!<\/p>\n
“I am not saying I should have played in those big games because it was the right decision not to play me. I couldn\u2019t cope playing full games and big games like that. Physically, it was too much for me. I think when people are talking about replacing Paul Scholes they are talking about replacing the Paul Scholes of five years ago. I was more prominent then.<\/p>\n
“Then I was getting forward and scoring goals. I was making them and playing a big part. But I\u2019ve been playing around 25 games a season since and getting the odd goal here and there.<\/p>\n
“Does that need replacing? Essentially the job has been done anyway. Other players have already come in, done the job, and we\u2019ve continued to be successful.”<\/p>\n
