Paul Scholes feared Man United career was over after argument with Ferguson.

Paul Scholes, the legendary Manchester United midfielder, has opened up about a heated argument he had with his former manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. In a recent interview, Scholes revealed that the argument was so intense that he believed his United career was over.


According to Scholes, the incident took place during a game against Newcastle United in 2005. Scholes, who was on the bench at the time, was unhappy with his lack of playing time and voiced his frustration to Ferguson. The exchange quickly escalated, with both men becoming increasingly angry.

Scholes described the argument as "crazy" and said that he was "fuming" afterwards. He even went so far as to pack his bags and leave the stadium, convinced that he would never play for United again.

However, Scholes' fears turned out to be unfounded. Despite the argument, he remained a key player for United and went on to win numerous trophies with the club, including 11 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies.

Looking back on the incident, Scholes said that he and Ferguson had a strong relationship and that they were able to move past the argument. He also acknowledged that Ferguson's willingness to confront him showed the manager's passion and commitment to the club.

The incident serves as a reminder of the intense pressure that top-level footballers and managers face. Even the best players and coaches can clash from time to time, but it's how they handle those disagreements that ultimately determines their success. In the case of Scholes and Ferguson, their ability to put their differences aside and work together ultimately led to a period of unparalleled success for Manchester United.
