Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has revealed that he is open to taking on a coaching role in the future as he 'misses' being involved in football.

The 40-year-old spent his entire career at Old Trafford before retiring permanently in 2013.

During the 2011-12 and 2013-14 seasons, Scholes had brief coaching spells at the Premier League club, and since becoming a joint-owner of Salford City alongside Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Phil and Gary Neville, the ex-midfielder has offered coaching advice to the players.

"I love football," Scholes told PA. "I've not been involved now properly for two years and coaching is a way into it. I miss being involved day-to-day with players and being in a dressing room.

"If something comes up in the future that I fancy, then great. If it doesn't, then it doesn't, but it is definitely something I enjoy."

Back in March, Scholes rejected an offer to become Oldham manager.
