Bolton Wanderers are chasing Manchester United veteran Paul
Scholes.
Scholes is ready to leave Manchester United in search of one
last campaign after spending much of this term on the
sidelines.
The midfield maestro has grown sick of being a bit-part player
at Old Trafford this season and feels it is affecting his form.
Now neighbours Bolton want him to be the central figure in their
side by making him the highest-paid player at the club.
Scholes, 34, signed a one-year extension to his contract this
season.
But it is unlikely United would demand any sort of transfer fee
if the player asked to leave.
The Trotters would be prepared to match his wages of around
£70,000 a week. It is understood Scholes would not drive a hard
bargain as he is just looking to play one last season of regular
football.
Stoke are also interested in making Scholes a player-coach.
But Scholes has made only the initial steps into getting his
coaching badges.
Also he would not fancy the three-hour round trip to Stoke from
his home in Saddleworth every day.
Bolton's training ground is less than half an hour from his
house.
