Paul Scholes: Manchester United Legend Won't Help Red Devils Catch City in EPL

With the biggest English Premier League game to date, Manchester United attempted to solidify their midfield for their derby with Manchester City by signing football legend Paul Scholes, according to ESPNSoccernet.

The signing of Scholes seems to be a desperate move to sure up the midfield for the stretch-run. In the end, Scholes won’t be able to help the Red Devils catch Manchester City in the EPL table.

Scholes does make United better in the midfield, but he won’t be enough for the Red Devils. However, Sir Alex Ferguson is excited to have him back, according to guardian.co.uk.

"

"It's fantastic that Paul has made this decision. It's always sad to see great players end their careers, but especially so when they do it early. But he has kept himself in great shape and I always felt that he had another season in him. It's terrific to have him back."

Manchester United trails Manchester City by three points in the EPL standings and it seems like maybe this isn’t there year to win the Premier League.

There is something special going with Manchester City this season. They have everything going right for them and it’s going to take a monumental effort to knock them off their pedestal.

Sergio Aguero has been unbelievable this season tallying 14 goals. If Robin van Persie wasn’t doing what he has been doing, Aguero would get more recognition for the season he has been having. Edin Dzeko also has double-digit goals.

City has only lost two games all season. Expect their run to continue down the stretch in hopes for a Premier League crown.

Manchester United’s addition is solid, but it won’t help them catch City in the table because of the year they are having. 

Manchester City, your Premier League champions when this is all said and done.
