MANCHESTER UNITED fans believe Paul Scholes could still do a job in midfield after showing off his fitness on a treadmill.
The legendary midfielder, 45, has kept himself in terrific shape after hanging up his boots in 2013.

Scholes made 718 appearances for Manchester United over two spells and is regarded as one of the club’s greatest ever midfielders.
And now United fans have called for his former team-mate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to let him battle it out with Paul Pogba after seeing a clip of him topless on a treadmill.
One fan said on Reddit: “Pogba, Bruno (Fernandes) with Scholes return for squad depth?
“United are never losing again.”
Another added: “Bench Pogba again to bring Scholes out of retirement and let Pogba leave for Juve?”
A third said: “Already came out of retirement once, why not twice?”
Scholes first called it a day on his career at the end of the 2010/11 campaign after lifting the Premier League trophy.
But he would make an emotional return to the side in January 2012 after admitting he had missed playing.

Scholes would instantly hit the ground running by scoring on his first start and later signed a one-year extension.
He would play until the summer of 2013 before retiring for a second time having made 497 top-flight matches.
During his time at Manchester United he won 18 major trophies including 11 Premier League titles, three FA Cups, two League Cups and two Champions League medals.
