Paul Scholes on Manchester Uniteds thirst for more Carling Cup glory

United kickoff their defence of the Carling Cup tonight at Scunthorpe United. Last season marked a historic first for the club, retaining a cup trophy for the first time ever and Paul Scholes says the the team have every intention of retaining it again as they travel to Glanford Park.

"Last year we wanted to win it and it's the same this season," said the midfielder. "That's what you set out to do at the start of the competition. You get high intensity games in the Carling Cup. Maybe in other countries, cup competitions are not as important. Here you want to win every game. Going to Scunthorpe will be difficult. They are a good team at home and anything can happen at places like that. I hope we can get through this round and hopefully there is a nice Wembley final at the end." The match tonight sees sir Alex Ferguson fielding a number of younger players who will be getting the run out they don't normally get in other games.
