Fergie: Only Xavi Or Iniesta Could Replace Scholes

Manchester United were keen to bring Wesley Sneijder to the club this summer but a deal could not be agreed for the player.

Speaking to the Italian media at an awards ceremony at University of Rome Tor Vergata, Sir Alex Ferguson has today claimed that whilst Sneijder is a great player, he's still not on a level with Paul Scholes, who retired this summer.
