"Michael's been a great signing for us and I really think he's helped us get where we are," said Scholes.

"I don't know if Michael is that much of a different player to Roy. They do a similar role.

"I know that I can play alongside him in the team. He's got all the capabilities of a top midfielder and that's what you need at this club.

"It's been really enjoyable and I think we've developed a good understanding.

"I suppose Michael's freed me up a little bit to try and get forward more. I know he doesn't get forward that often."
