The way Paul Scholes has slotted back into the Manchester United team after coming out of retirement has astounded defender Rio Ferdinand.
Ferdinand knows the midfielder has played a key role in keeping United in the title race in the second half of the season.
He said: "He was out of the game for months and yet he's come straight back into top-level football and he's hardly looked out of place. At this stage of his career, that's phenomenal.
"It's not just the quality of his football that impresses me but the way he's adapted physically.
"Would we have been in the same position without him? It's impossible to say. It's great to have him back, though.
"There are a number of reasons why we've done well since the turn of the year and there's no doubt that one of them is Paul Scholes."
