With Ferguson's official retirement, Manchester United's golden generation is gradually fading away from the Manchester United club.

I am extremely proud. I would like to thank the fans for their support during my playing career, and also thank the coaches and teammates who have been by my side for so many years. I would especially like to thank Sir Alex Ferguson, who is an extremely outstanding manager. Since I joined
His door has been open since day one at Manchester United. I believe that under his leadership, this team will win more honours."
After retiring, Scholes will enter Manchester United's coaching staff, but his specific position has yet to be determined. The most likely position at present is reserve team coach, because since Solskjaer left, Warren Joyce has been
He is in charge of Manchester United's reserve team. In addition, Manchester United will also organize a memorial match for Scholes in August this year.
"What can I say about Scholes other than what I've said before?" Ferguson said. "We're going to miss a truly incredible player. He's been so loyal to this club and now he's going into
I'm delighted with the coaching staff. Scholes has been a role model for players of all ages and players will continue to learn a lot from him in the future."

Giggs, another leader of the golden generation, is in more trouble.
Giggs’ extramarital affair?! If Giggs, who joined Manchester United at the age of 14, had said that he could win 12 Premier League championship gold medals in the future, neither Ferguson nor he would have believed it at the time. And perhaps he had an extramarital affair because of his
It is even more unbelievable that he has won 12 consecutive Premier League crowns. But it is also true!
Starting in May, in some groups on Twitter and Facebook, some people began to discuss the affair of a Premier League star.
The star was later confirmed to be Giggs. It was revealed that he had an affair with Imogen Thomas, the former star of the UK's top reality TV show "Big Brother", and the relationship lasted for at least six months.
Someone revealed that before every away game and some important events, Giggs would secretly take Thomas into the hotel room and have trysts for "two hours at a time." The 28-year-old Thomas is a former Welsh beauty pageant champion with a hot figure. He is 28 this year.
Years old, sharing the same birthday as Ryan Giggs, he works in the television industry and also serves as a model.
She and her fellow countryman Giggs met last year and have been out of control ever since. In addition to the hotel where they stayed before Manchester United, they have left traces of their love in many top five-star hotels in the UK. Giggs said Thomas is the "love of his life"
, the woman also said that she was completely fascinated by the Manchester United star.
While secretly at the center of an extramarital affair, Giggs' public image was that of a perfect family man, husband and father of two, and a football ambassador for Manchester United. The 37-year-old dated 5
Stasi got married in 2010. The wedding was as low-key as Giggs, and only close friends and relatives were invited to participate. The children raised by the two, Zach and Libby, are 5 and 7 years old respectively. After his extramarital affair was revealed on Twitter,
While Facebook groups, personal blogs and forums are in full swing, Giggs still displays his image as a good family man.
Last week, he and Stasi appeared together at a public event at the club. They were married and married. Later, Giggs attended Manchester United's trophy ceremony with his two children. The Welsh winger's confidentiality work was so good that he once hid it from his teammates, friends and agent.
People. His agent only realized that his client was in trouble when he was later interviewed by the media: "I was shocked, I couldn't believe it. He is a good gentleman. I am so familiar with his family that I don't know what to say at the moment.
What’s good!”
Giggs is not good? People only remember that Ferguson drove to Lee Sharp's house and "blown up" a wild party involving him. After that, the untutored Sharp slowly faded out, and the obedient Giggs stepped into "
Right path".
Before marriage, he dated some TV hosts, but what is more unforgettable is his contribution on the field over the past 20 years. This season he has gained a number of records. In addition to the 12th Premier League championship, he also broke the Manchester United league and various competitions.
He is the only player to have played in every Premier League season, and has never been sent off with a red card while representing Manchester United, which further illustrates his clear mind and self-control ability.
"My life is very boring, I like yoga." In order to extend his career, Giggs works tirelessly and admits that he must give up other things for football. Unexpectedly, his secret life is actually colorful. The revelation of this extramarital affair will undoubtedly subvert
Giggs' off-field image was praised by everyone. As the media said: "The reputation of the most praiseworthy British star was shattered into pieces." However, after a lifetime of fame was ruined, more troubles were waiting for him.
200,000 hush money cannot stop the Internet. In order to prevent the scandal from being exposed, Giggs applied to the court for a super injunction, hoping to seal the mouth of any media including newspapers, television, and the Internet. After the British court accepted Giggs’ application
The ban was imposed to protect the person or his family from being reported, and anyone who breached the ban could be found guilty of contempt of court and could be jailed and fined.
The media later found out that the details Giggs banned from media reporting included his name, age, club he played for, the number of honors he had won, his position on the field, etc. Some British legal experts said that he spent at least 200,000 pounds to cover up his shame.
But the Welsh winger has good intentions but does bad things. Before he filed for an injunction, most people didn't know who was responsible for the scandal. After that, netizens in the UK and around the world began to wonder: Who is this Premier League star who applied for an injunction? Then,
Details of this star, who plays for a famous club, is honored, and has a happy family, have emerged. Netizens sorted through the details through elimination methods, and the name of the star was almost revealed.
Giggs, who is paying attention to the Internet, saw that paper could no longer contain the fire, so last week he hired a lawyer to warn netizens: If you continue to spread rumors wantonly, be careful about the consequences of going to jail! He also planned to sue Twitter. But this move triggered a greater counterattack.
According to statistics from the "Daily Mail", at noon last Friday, there were 56,000 tweets mentioning Giggs on Twitter. Later, statistics pointed out that this was the highest number of mentions of Giggs on Twitter in a week.
Reaching 100,000 people. Since May, the number of searches for Giggs on British websites has continued to remain low, but it rose sharply to a high last Friday, and this jump comes at a time when
It happened within a few hours after Giggs was preparing to take Twitter to court. Netizens laughed at Giggs' actions. British TV personality Quindy said: "The beauty of Twitter is to say what you want to say. If because of saying a
It's ridiculous to go to jail just for his name. 75,000 people have already mentioned this player's name on Twitter, can you let them all go to jail? Unless the world is crazy!"
Finally, one newspaper couldn't stand it anymore. The Sunday edition of the Herald of Scotland did something just as its name suggests last Sunday. The newspaper published a huge portrait on the front page, "Everyone knows that there is a player who resorted to...
Superban 'requires all media outlets to silence scandal', and it seems we shouldn't either
Say who he is..." The newspaper did not name him directly, and the eyes of the portrait were covered by strips of color, like a poster for the Tom Cruise movie "Minority Report," but the portrait had thin cheeks and a stubbled beard.
, it is still easy to recognize that "he" is Giggs.
According to legal provisions, the injunction order from the English court does not apply to the Scottish media. Even so, Scotland, which has been bullied by England in international competitions for many years, still leads by 1 goal this time.
When the injunction becomes the emperor's new clothes, Fleet Street in London is not a failure. Last weekend, "The Sun" applied to the court to lift the injunction in order to report, but was rejected. At this time, Giggs's affair was an open secret. From the Internet
His affair was discussed everywhere from Manchester United's training base to London's restaurants and bars. When an injunction became the emperor's new clothes, some British MPs finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Heming, a member of the British House of Commons, said in a speech in Parliament on Monday: "There are 75,000 people naming Ryan Giggs on Twitter. It is obviously unrealistic to put all these people in jail." This is a conspiracy.
TV coverage of Parliament, so this is also the first time Giggs's name has been raised in public in relation to his sex scandal. However, Heming was citing the "parliamentary privilege" that has lasted for hundreds of years in the UK, and this "privilege" can
Say whatever you want beyond the Supreme Court's injunction.
As soon as Hemming's words came out, Fleet Street seemed to have received an amnesty. Newspapers including the Daily Telegraph, The Independent, The Mirror, The Sun and other newspapers followed suit, trying to regain the lost ground occupied by their Scottish counterparts.
.At this time, talking about Giggs is no longer a forbidden area, but fashionable. However, Fleet Street used cautious words about Giggs, calling him "a player who uses a drug injunction to protect himself."
Protect Giggs or expose Giggs, that is the question. His extramarital affair triggered two wars between personal autonomy and free speech, between court super injunctions and parliamentary privileges, and he was cross-attacked. Whether he should be quoted
There was a debate in the British House of Commons about parliamentary privilege when talking about Ryan Giggs. Heming's speech was criticized by other members of the House of Commons at the time.
Members objected. After his speech, the Supreme Court still upheld the injunction in effect, prohibiting the media from exposing more sexual details of the parties. This led to ridicule in the Scottish media. The Scottish Herald, based in Glasgow, said: "In Angel City,
Wherever they dare to interfere (free speech), they (the courts) will interfere."
After Ferguson left, one of the two great heroes chose to retire, but the other stood at the forefront!
However, people are more concerned about who will become the new helmsman of the Red Devils. Under normal circumstances, Ferguson should find a successor before retiring. Now Ferguson is more like stepping aside and handing over the troubles to the club!
According to media speculation, there may still be certain variables in Manchester United's favorite candidate. It is certain that when the team regroups, Manchester United's new coach will definitely surface.
But it is worth noting that Manchester United does not seem to intend to choose silence in the summer transfer market when there is no head coach!
Manchester United CEO David Gill said in an interview with Manchester United's official TV station that "this summer will definitely be busier than in previous years." "Manchester Evening News" said that Ashley Young, Sneijder and Modric are the hottest players this summer.
For those who may join Manchester United, the newspaper even ran a headline such as "Manchester United must win Sneijder". In addition, Atletico Madrid goalkeeper De Gea is almost certain to succeed Edwin van der Sar, and Lens central defender
Varane is also very likely to join.
The "Daily Star" said that Manchester United wanted to spend 12 million pounds to buy Ashley Young, but Villa refused to budge and asked for 16 million pounds. However, the newspaper optimistically estimated that both sides would soon reach an agreement with each concession.
, and the final transfer fee may be 15 million pounds. Manchester United needs to introduce a strong player most.
There is also the latest good news for the central midfielder position of the reinforcements. The Daily Mirror said that Tottenham will sell Modric and Bale this summer. Their asking price for Modric is 25 million pounds, and they will only
Sold to a team competing in the Champions League; Tottenham's asking price for Bale is 50 million pounds.
The 25-year-old Modric's contract with Tottenham expires in 2016. In an interview earlier this month, Modric said, "In the football world, many things are unpredictable because everything may happen.
happened. But I enjoyed my time at Tottenham. I didn’t miss anything
Things, I think Spurs can accomplish some great things. I think we can challenge for the Premier League and the Cup. But like I said, you never know what's going to happen. You can say you're going to stay and then
You just leave. But I'm happy here and I haven't considered leaving yet."
Although Modric does not want to leave, Tottenham have considered selling him. "Daily Mail" said that Tottenham is preparing to introduce Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Baderji to replace Modric
.The 22-year-old Baderji is known as Mode
Ricci II, he is also Modric's successor at Dinamo Zagreb. Dinamo Zagreb wants 8.5 million pounds for Baderj. In addition to Tottenham, Wolfsburg and Moscow
CSKA is also preparing an open offer for Baderji.
In terms of leaving the team, the "Guardian" said that Kuszczak, Brown, Obertan, and Bibby may all be purged this summer. Although Nani claimed after the Champions League game that he will still play for Manchester United next season, he still has
A transfer is possible this summer. Italy's Tuttomercato said that English football expert Nicola Rogero said that Nani may be transferred to Inter Milan as part of the Sneijder deal.
Real Madrid also wants to restart Li Yu's transfer case. One Ronaldo is not enough to support them against Barcelona, so what about adding Li Yu, who can be called Barcelona's killer?
How about two hundred million divided equally?
It's at least 100 million, whether it's pounds or euros, it's hard to say. Everyone knows Real Madrid is rich, it just depends on how determined they are!
Now is definitely the best time to win Li Yu. When everything stabilizes, Real Madrid will definitely have no chance.
Needless to say, Li Yu's commercial value is worth whatever money you spend. As long as you have Li Yu, it also means that you can open up the world's largest market effortlessly.
Florentino must be aware of it, and many media are waiting to see when the real Madrid storm will hit.
