Sir Alex Ferguson is convinced Paul Scholes will be as good as new next season despite his continuing eye problems.
The former England star has admitted he may never be completely clear of blurred vision which forced him to miss over four months of the season. However, despite Ferguson's repeated assertions that Scholes would not be called upon again until next season, the 31-year-old was given the green light to re-start his career earlier this month and was his usual effective self in the second half of the 4-0 win over Charlton at Old Trafford on the final day of the campaign.
"We are convinced he will be back next season," Ferguson told the official Manchester United magazine. "He is a sensational player, one of the best we have ever had."
