Staging a repeat of last season's double triumph is not out of
the question for United during the upcoming campaign, according to
midfielder Paul Scholes.
As one of the Reds' elder statesmen, Scholes is well placed to assess the future potential of United's young guns.
And
he's convinced that having scooped the double last season, the team's
starlets will continue to go from strength to strength.
"It's an exciting time and a good time to be involved," insisted the 33-year-old.
"The
young players coming through are only going to be better next year for
the experience they’ve had. Everyone who came in to the team last year
played a massive part in our achievements.
"It is a big ask [to retain the Champions League], but I feel we can only go from strength to strength."
Scholes
saw enough from United's young players last season to convince him that
they are more than capable of coping when the going gets tough.
"It is one thing having the talent and doing it in training every day but you have got to do it where it matters," he insisted.
“Thankfully
we have the players who can do that - young lads who do not seemed to
be fazed by anything. They are very confident and look forward to the
big games.
“Hopefully we can get off to a good start and a good finish by winning more trophies.”
