Scholes would only have left United if Sir Alex Ferguson no longer wanted him at the club.

Scholes was arguably the best midfielder of his time.

Scholes was never interested in leaving the team he considered to be the best in the world.

Paul Scholes says he once received a call informing him of Serie A club Inter Milan’s interest in his services.

The ex-England midfielder was one of the best players of his generation, and the Manchester United legend was never interested in a move away from Old Trafford.

"I was never ever made aware of any team coming in for me," the midfielder who spent his entire playing career at the Theatre of Dreams, told BBC Sport.

"I did have one phone call off an agent, Bryan Robson’s old agent, he rang me while we were away at Euro 2000 to ask me if I would be interested in going to Inter Milan but that’s the only phone call I ever had.

"I never heard anything after that and the manager never said anything to me.

"I was playing at my boyhood club, I was a Manchester lad, we were winning trophies all the time.

"If the manager said to me that he didn’t want me I would definitely have gone if there was a big club abroad who wanted me, but there was never any need to ever think about Barcelona, Real Madrid or AC Milan because I was at the biggest club in the world anyway."

Scholes added: "We didn’t win as many Champions Leagues as we should have but we were every inch as good as those teams, if not better."
