Scholes spent his entire career at Old Trafford after coming through the club’s youth ranks.
The 45-year-old took in two spells at the club; initially retiring in the summer of 2011 before making a return less than a year later to win another Premier League medal.
Despite being one of the best midfielders of his generation, the former England international’s name rarely got embroiled in the transfer rumor mill.
But there was a time one European powerhouse showed interest, which Scholes has now revealed.
"I was never ever made aware of any team coming in for me," Scholes told BBC Radio 5 Live.
"I did have one phone call off an agent, Bryan Robson's old agent, he rang me while we were away at Euro 2000 to ask me if I would be interested in going to Inter Milan but that's the only phone call I ever had. I never heard anything after that and the manager never said anything to me.
"I was playing at my boyhood club, I was a Manchester lad, we were winning trophies all the time.
"If the manager said to me that he didn't want me I would definitely have gone if there was a big club abroad who wanted me but there was never any need to ever think about Barcelona, Real Madrid or AC Milan because I was at the biggest club in the world anyway.
"We didn't win as many Champions Leagues as we should have but we were every inch as good as those teams, if not better."
Scholes won eleven Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies among numerous honours in his time at Manchester United.
