Sir Alex Ferguson believes it would be 'great' if Paul Scholes
finished the season as Footballer of the Year.
The Manchester United stalwart has been enjoying a renaissance this
term after missing several months of the last campaign with an eye
problem.
He has been orchestrating many United attacks from midfield and has
also chipped in with five goals, including a brace in the New
Year's Day draw at Newcastle United.
His form has been pleasing Ferguson, who has been delighted with
the way Scholes continues to demonstrate his talent.
The United manager also feels that the former England international
would be a fitting winner of the Footballer of the Year
accolade.
"I think everyone at the club and the supporters would be delighted
if Paul got an honour," said Ferguson.
"He's scored five goals for me and that is up with the best of them
in the country in that role.
"His football brain, and the football he produces at times, is
marvellous.
"It would be great for him to get an award like that."
