Giggs lauds Scholes impact

Ryan Giggs has hailed retiring Manchester United team-mate Paul Scholes as amazing.

Scholes played his final game in United s 2-1 victory over Swansea City at Old Trafford on Sunday, after almost 20 years playing in United s first-team.

And Giggs, who will play into his 40th year next season, was full of praise for the midfielder s impact at the club.

You ve seen him today he s not played for I don t know how long and he comes in and his little five-yard passes and 30-yard passes, plus his range of passing, was just unbelievable, he said.

He s just a pleasure to play with someone who, as a forward player, you knew if you made a run, he would play you in.

You wouldn t even have to break stride as you knew the pace of the pass would be perfect and he d put it where you wanted it to be put.

He is just an amazing player and an amazing person.

Scholes originally retired from the club in 2011 and joined United s coaching staff, but reversed his decision in January 2012 to help alleviate an injury crisis at the club.

He signed a one-year contract extension in the off-season, before deciding to call time on his illustrious career.
