"I am not a man of many words but I can honestly say that playing football is all I have ever wanted to do and to have had such a long and successful career at Manchester United has been a real honour."
Manchester United's Paul Scholes has ended his playing career, aged 36. Scholes made his United debut in 1994, making 676 appearances, and will now join the coaching staff.
His retirement came after he helped the club win a record 19th league title, the 10th of his career, and his last game was Saturday's Champions League final loss to Barcelona.
