Paul Scholes takes Man United training as he returns to coaching set-up under interim manager Ryan Giggs

Paul Scholes has taken first-team training at Manchester United’s Carrington base following his return to the club’s coaching set-up.

Sportsmail exclusively revealed on Tuesday that the 39-year-old will play a role in the new interim regime under Ryan Giggs, who was appointed following the sacking of David Moyes.

And we can now reveal Scholes was involved in Wednesday's first-team session as United prepare for Saturday's visit of Norwich City.

However, he revealed to Sportsmail last July that he was desperate to return to United as soon as possible, saying: 'I will look to get back into it as soon as I can really – once I have had a nice holiday. I haven’t given it too much thought about a specific role but it is nice of United to give me the time off and let me know that there will always be a place for me if and when I want to come back.'



A United insider maintained that 'Paul knows there is always a place for him at the club' but it is understood that very few serious attempts were made by Moyes to persuade one of the club's greatest players to return to the club.



Since then, with senior United players utterly unconvinced over the merits of Moyes as manager, Scholes showed little inclination that he would be interested in returning under the Scot's regime.
