Overview
- Speaking on The Overlap, Scholes said Inter Milan interest reached him during Euro 2000 through Ryan Giggs’ agent Harry Swales.
- He recalled being told of a £4m‑a‑year tax‑free offer that he described as more than double his Manchester United salary at the time.
- Scholes said he asked Sir Alex Ferguson for improved pay in pre‑season, only to be rebuffed after the manager checked his “little black book.”
- He noted the transfer talk then disappeared and called the pay approach the worst decision of his career.
- Scholes emphasized he never seriously pursued a move and stayed at Manchester United for 716 appearances, as former Inter president Massimo Moratti has previously claimed the club tried to sign him.
