Manchester United v Liverpool will always be one of best rivalries, says Paul Scholes ahead of Old Trafford meeting But it's definitely still right up there, it'll always be right up there. While it has been Manchester City - the reigning champions - and Chelsea battling United for the league title in recent campaigns, Scholes has no doubt Liverpool "historically are our biggest rivals." He said: "Whether Manchester City have overtaken Liverpool now [as United's biggest rivals], I don't know...it'll probably take years for City to create what Liverpool have done. But Liverpool historically are our biggest rivals, they're always the biggest games and the best atmospheres. But I'm sure City will run them close. 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.
