Manchester United veteran Paul Scholes is in no doubt that Liverpool are still a major rival for his club.

Meanwhile, Scholes has spoken of how glad he is that he decided to come out of retirement, with a year having now passed since his comeback appearance against City. "I just wanted to come back playing, and I'm glad I did," the 38-year-old said. "At the time there were a lot of injuries and I thought maybe I could help, so I tried to. "The second half of last season I played quite often. Unfortunately we just fell short of winning the league; that was disappointing, but I'm glad I came back." Manchester Utd v Liverpool is live on Sky Sports 1 this Sunday. For more details click
