"Playing on the left was never a problem. I played on the left for United I don't know how many times," revealed Scholes. "I just got fed up. When you are going to a team, you want to be part of a team and play well, but there are individuals who are after personal glory. "I always felt when I first started with England that players - especially players at clubs like your Aston Villas - try to use England as a way to get to a top club. You feel, are they there for the right reason? "I think they are very selfish people. They are all there to get their bit of glory, their bit of headlines, to think 'I will get a move from this'. I think that is the biggest problem with English players." Scholes even shed light on the opinions of his Manchester United colleagues, revealing they are all losing their patience with certain individuals in Fabio Capello's squad. "It was a frustration for us United lads. When there is a simple pass of 10 yards, they might try and smack it 80 yards. They will do things to try and get themselves noticed. "If you look at the Spain team now, they all seem to play for each other. There isn't one of them who would try to do something in a game that doesn't suit the team. And that could happen over here. If you look through our teams, there are loads of technically brilliant players but for some reason when we go on to the international scene, we don't look like that. "We're the favourites every time and we probably will be next time. I think it is quite laughable. It is just the mentality of English people, we think we are going to win everything." |

Yeah cause Steven Gerrard has been playing to get himself a move to a big club hasnt he, and has played 'for the likes of Aston Villa'. Hes talking about midtable players. |

Scholes, the real one, is talking shit. If he wasnt already at a big club he would be doing the exact same thing. Good players will always use the international stage (or any stage) as a spring board, but that in itself isnt a major stumbling block when it comes to team unity. So using that as excuse is weak. |

I've had numerous moments since the end of the season when I've realised I'll never get to watch the majesty of Scholes on form again, I'm so upset he's retired .
