Paul Scholes has indicated that he could play on beyond next season. The Manchester United midfielder has been expected to call it a day at the end of the 2010-11 campaign after signing a one-year contract extension in April.
"I do not know if it will be my last season," the 35-year-old said. "I will just take every game as it comes. If I am feeling OK and doing the job that the manager wants me to do then we will see how things are at the end of next season. Hopefully next season will be another good one for me."
Scholes and Ryan Giggs are the senior players training in Chicago ahead of their club's five-match summer tour. The temperature is expected to reach 33C today but, according to Scholes, United will reap the benefits later.
"Pre-season is always a busy time of the year for us because we're focused on getting set for the start of the season," he told the club's official website. "We are doing lots of training in very hot conditions but hopefully that will stand us in a good stead for when the season begins. As far as next season goes we want to get back on track. Hopefully we'll have better luck with injuries and win some more trophies."
