​Remember that moment when Paul Scholes reversed his retirement decision and made a comeback for Manchester United?





The Englishman has now revealed that he regretted his decision to come out of retirement and has attributed the reason to two players who convinced him that the time had come for him to hang up his boots.





Speaking to BT Sport, Scholes recalled an incident during a certain Manchester derby when he made his comeback as he said, "I remember the game itself. We were 3-0 up when I came on and we were against 10 men, and then it went back to 3-2!"





How did Paul Scholes' Man Utd comeback happen?

He continued, "I was taking my gear off ready to come on and (City coach) David Platt said to me 'what the hell are you doing?' and I went 'no idea!'. At that time I wished I hadn't done it. I think I gave a bad pass for a throw in, and Sergio Aguero nipped onto it and scored."





Scholes also revealed that he was indeed offered a new deal by United but the match against Tottenham that year made him realise he needs to go. He said, "The manager gave me another year, but I was gone."





The legendary midfielder continued, "I remember playing Tottenham at home, we got beat 3-2, I played alright in possession, but I remember (Mousa) Dembele and Gareth Bale cruising past me."





Concluding on why he ended up staying for the whole season, Scholes stated, "I wanted to retire early again that season, but I thought it'd be embarrassing so I stayed on."
