Former Manchester United legend Paul Scholes appears as a special guest on ‘Man in Europe 2025’, a junior assist project co-produced by STUDIO X +U and Shoot for Love, and personally explains the time when he returned after announcing his retirement.

On ‘Men in Europe’, which will be aired on U +tv and U +mobiletv on the 16th and 17th, ‘Park Ji-Sung’s close friend ‘Evra will lead Park Ji-Sung, C-Jammcheol & Babamba in Manchester, saying, “We’re going to meet a super special guest.No need to say much.”

Evra hinted that he was one of the ‘Class of 92’, a nickname for Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, David Beckham, Gary Neville, Phil Neville, and Paul Scholes, who led Manchester United during their heyday, saying, “This player tackled me a lot during training.” Cjamcheol, who guessed the defender, chose ‘Gary Neville’, and Babamba chose ‘David Beckham’.However, Cjamcheol & Babamba were at a loss, but Manchester United’s legendary midfielder Paul Scholes appeared, causing a shock.
C-Jamm-Chul, who couldn’t close his mouth at the legendary intuition, asked, “No one knows Scholes ‘contact information, and it’s not even in the Manchester United group chat, so how does Evra have his contact information?” and wondered about the relationship between Scholes and Evra, who summoned Scholes.Scholes whined, “No one invited me to the chat room,” and Evra confessed to stealing his contact information(?), saying, “He didn’t even give me his contact information, but he stole my phone and sent a message to my number,” making everyone laugh.

Scholes personally shared the story of his ‘return of a legend’, where he had to reverse his decision and return despite declaring his retirement.Scholes said, “The manager told me to keep my return a secret, so I said I was receiving coaching training during training.I also said we rode the club bus together on the match day because we were staff members.” Evra recalled the time when his morale was greatly boosted by the surprise announcement from the manager and Scholes, saying, “When I went into the locker room, Scholes ‘jersey was hanging.Everyone screamed like children.’ Scholes is a genius ‘…” Scholes will also personally share the surprising behind-the-scenes story of how he had no choice but to play in his comeback wearing cheap plastic football boots.

Scholes also wondered about the juniors who would receive support from Park Ji-sung & Evra, and asked, “Haven’ t you met Son Heung-min?” and asked about Son’s meeting.When Park Ji-sung answered, “Not yet,” Evra spread the rumor, saying, “Heung-min doesn’t like Ji-sung.” However, a two-shot between Park Ji-sung and Son Heung-min is expected to put an end to the rumor, and anticipation is rising for their meeting.

The lies and truths of Scholes ‘quotes, and the customized support that Park Ji-sung & Evra will give to the fourth supporter, Hwang In-beom(Feyenoord Rotterdam), can be found in’ Men in Europe 2025’, which will be aired on U + tv and U + mobile tv on the 16th(Wednesday)and 17th(Thursday).
