Blackburn Rovers manager Mark Hughes will try to sign Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs if the duo became available in the transfer market after their prolific careers with Manchester United.

"If players of the ilk of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes came onto the market then everyone would be interested, irrespective of their ages," said Hughes ahead of tomorrow's Premiership clash with leaders United at Ewood Park.

"They have the capacity to be able to affect games at Premier League level and you are always looking for those types of players, so everybody would be interested if they became available.

"But given their connection with United, and the fact they have never been anywhere else, do they need to leave? I would suggest possibly they don't."
