The veteran shone in midfield as goals from Dimitar Berbatov, Darren Fletcher and Ryan Giggs, the first and third of which were created by the 35-year-old, made it a comfortable night for United. "The most important thing is to win the game," Scholes told Sky Sports 1. "Maybe we could have scored more but we'll take a 3-0 win on the first day of the season. "Newcastle came, set their stall out and defended deep. Once we got the goal we were a constant threat. "A lot of teams come here and try to make it difficult. We just had to tire them out as much as we could. "Second half especially, I really enjoyed that: creating chances, looking like we were going to score whenever we went forward." On Giggs' strike, which the Welshman finished following a fine team move, he added: "It was a great goal to watch. We kept the ball well and it was a fantastic goal to start off with."
