    Paul Scholes' final farewell

    Whilst Sir Alex Ferguson has taken all of the headlines regarding his impending retirement as manager of Manchester United, another man is also about to call time upon his Old Trafford career. Quiet, media shy and always keen to avoid the spotlight; Paul Scholes is the third highest appearance holder at the club and has blossomed into one of the finest midfielders in the world under the tutelage of his boss. Now he is set to bow out in just the way he would want; without a lot of fuss made over him and with a Premier League medal to add to his impressive collection.

    Barcelona ready to offer big money for centre-back (Video)

    Barcelona are in the market for some defenders this summer, particularly now that Carles Puyol is coming towards the end of his career and Eric Abidal continues to make steady recovery from a liver transplant. Gerard Pique is their only other recognised central defender, with Javier Mascherano and Sergio Busquets often filling in alongside the former Manchester United player as and when required. Who looks likely to join the Catalan squad for next season and will Tito Vilanova decide on actually purchasing a defender rather than trying to convert a midfielder?

    Manchester United are in need of strengthening the middle of their squad, not even the most ardent Red Devils fans can argue with that.  Yes, they have dominated the Premier League this season and snatched the title back from noisy neighours Manchester City, but that was largely down to the vast number of goals that Robin van Persie provided.
