Paul Scholes admits he would have considered playing for either Barcelona or AC Milan, but only if Manchester United no longer needed him.
The former England international enjoyed a successful spell at Old Trafford under the guidance of Sir Alex Ferguson, playing an integral role in the majority of their trophy successes with the Scot.
Scholes was a key player throughout his 20-year career at United but admits there are two other clubs that he admired from a distance.
While the legendary midfielder had no intentions of ever leaving United he says a move to Milan or Barcelona would have appealed if he had to find a new club.
"It is a bit far fetched," Scholes joked when asked on the Savage Social.
"I never had any intention or any ambition to play for anyone else. I was at the biggest club in the world, I was with all of my mates, playing good football and winning trophies. I never had any intention.
"The clubs I'd like to abroad, Barcelona the big club in Spain, and I always liked AC Milan as well in Italy.
"I think it was more the kit than anything, the red and black stripes and the white shorts! And the players. We used to watch Italian football growing up, and you think of (Franco) Baresi, (Paolo) Maldini, (Roberto) Donadoni and (Carlo) Ancelotti. (Marco) Van Basten centre forward, Ruud Gullit as well, an unbelievable team. So if I had to, never wanted to, Barcelona or AC Milan."
