Despite being from the Blue side of Manchester I couldn't agree with this more. Scholes should have been first name of them three on the sheet, then find one to play with him.

Facts!

​@@imjustasking553this !!!

Agreed, he made so much happen on that pitch, never mind statistics, he knew how to open up the whole pitch in front of him, bring players into the game with a pass and take opponents out of the game with a pass. His use of space on the pitch is jaw dropping.

Those 2 weren't fit to tie his laces in my opinion

Then there is Pogba and Sancho who think they own the world for achieving nothing

@@victorymurangiri5164 Pogba won a World Cup. He has literally reached the pinnacle of football. Sancho hasn't done anything. Pogba has had a successful career.

U mean u started watching and understanding football at the age of 4?

@dunhilljoseph You mean you tried to look smart with that comment not realizing your maths is terrible?

46-37 is not equal to 4, but equal to 9. You will get your maths cert in the post.@@dunhilljoseph5461

Should of signed Bellingham

He never wanted to join our club@@gypsyking1645

What a team United used to have!!!...

Me too, I wish we had a Paul Scholes at United right now. The reason why United won the title every year because of Paul Scholes. He tackles. his passes and his shots. What a legend.

Kobbie Mainoo got a lot of Scholes in him let him develop some and we'll see I see it in him but it's gotta be consistent

In fairness, Darren Fletcher was better than Bruno.

Even Anderson was better than Bruno

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😊

The comparison is an insult, don't ask for who.

Completely different players. Bruno plays every game, is never injured, and has created more chances this season than anybody else in the top 5 European leagues. Have a bit of respect.

Agree with every word, because he never put himself out there the way becks and co. Did everyone forgets just how good he was, but ask Zidane, figo, xavi, this man man was never meant to be born English, he is way to technical to be a English player even still in this day and age! Always remember reading an article about christiano Ronaldo at carrington trying to hit this telegraph pole with a ball and had about hundred attempts and scholesy came along one time put the ball down and just like the true maestro he his hit it and walked away without a word

Jam dakord në të gjitha aspektet, ai është vërtet i mirë, shumë i mirë, nuk flet shumë, por përdor ritmin e tij për të folur me njerëzit se është vërtet i mirë, shumë i mirë me mua. E dua shumë, Paul Scro.❤❤

​@@mattyjay3920I can remember watching the build up to a match at the Sapporo dome in Japan. Players were warming up. Scholes and I think Nicky butt were standing in the center circle having a chat and looking up. Scholes got a ball, absolutely smashed it directly up in the air out of his hands. They both stood there for about six seconds staring upwards then looked at each other and shook their heads. Obviously they'd wondered if you could hit the dome with a ball. How crisply he struck the ball with such power nearly hitting himself in the face to get it to fly directly up with no side spin. Unreal power and technique.

Wise player before he received the ball he as already know what to do...great scholes

Latin people seem to appreciate him more than the English(sans United fans).

Carrick was the only one who compares. Also happened to be his teammate. Lol

​@@JoeSawyer-ge3xfNot even close mate

Hoddle

Letissier

I truly believe he's the best English football player of all time

Nah zidan and maybe iniesta over him definitely zidane

@@adenmohamed7203Zidane wasn’t really a midfielder he was a ten. Zidane could do things scholes couldn’t do…scholes could do things Zidane couldn’t do. Iniesta. Na. Close. But na. Better dribbler. That’s about it.

You must be delusional.am a big scholes fan but zidane and inesta are clear of him.scholes is in the bracket of xavi and pirlo.

Scholes was excellent. But I wouldn't say he was better than KDB.

@@luisantonioduarteah-hoy9663he was

Paul schole is better than kdb

@@godwinaghoghozino2610 , disagree. Scholes was a legend.. but KDB is even better than him.

He was English, played for his national team

remember when he came back from his retirement and made sure united won the league?

i have seen gerrard do some great stuff, but never consistent enough. scholesy did this almost every single match. incredible. lamps? please. decent midfielder thats about it.

Zidane and Iniesta played golf then.joker

@@Woze899 well, what a charming person you're not. Did you know that, when asked who he thought was the best midfield player, Zinedine Zidane named Paul Scholes? Always check your facts before mouthing off.

Yeah same here. I started watching since 2005 and Supported Man Utd. I never really enjoyed his style of play.. back then there was Stevie Gerard, Frank Lampard, Kaka, Fabregas, Iniesta, Xavi, Seedorf, Pirlo etc. Man Utd had Him and Carrick. I wanted them to sign any of those players. I even wished he retired because I wanted them to have flashy midfielders like Kaka & Iniesta. But when I understood more about the game and particularly more about the midfield, I knew they wouldn’t be able to replace him. I watched him during important games and can confidently say he is the player you want the ball to be with all the time. He is like a safe lock. Running the game like he doesn’t know what pressure is. To be honest Man Utd squad wasn’t that great compared to their rivals at that time. Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal had insane roosters. European rivals like Real, Barca, Milan, Inter, Juventus, Bayern were Legendary. But because of Players like Roy Keane and Scholes they were able to keep up with those teams. When Zidane, Xavi and Co said all those things about him.. they weren’t overexgerating it. They played against him, they know it. Man Utd midfield is nonexistent since he left..

Fuck I’m old. 😆

Beckham was a better FK and long passer. Scholes was better in every thing else.

@@luisantonioduarteah-hoy9663long passer? Debatable. They’re at least equals. Corners and free kicks are another matter.

@@colinharris615 , yeah, you're probably right about long passing in terms of pure accuracy.

​@@luisantonioduarteah-hoy9663yep Beckham passed into areas, Scholes seems to pass it exactly where it needed to bounce, or right on the end of someone's foot

The master of any pass.

You didn't realise an 11 time premier league winner and 2 time Champions league winner was a baller?

@@williamredpath861 I see why he went under the radar. Giggs, Beckham and co got the fame & endorsements. Scholes was low key. A silent maestro. Nobody wanted a Scholes football top.

Great point

Innit.

Um, did you watch Scholes play at all? He absolutely got a lot of goals and assists earlier in his career. Before he started playing deeper layer in his career (so from the late 2000s onward), he was easily the best goalscoring midfield player at the turn of the century.

@@brianduru3753 yes I'm aware of that, I meant in comparisons to the likes of Lampard with regards to the whole Gerrard, Lampard Scholes debate. Its easy to point to Lampards goals or Gerrards leadership as how Scholes played 'generally' wasn't as quantifiable and therefore goes a miss sometimes.

That's partly because whole united sqaud was class..it was whole team contributing..such was the talent. Probably that's why you may not find too many goals or assists for a single player. I mean CR7 had so many goals per match for Real Madrid but not for united as Rooney, Tevez were also there. Same with Giggs, Scholes..

You mean Pirlo and Xavi were like Scholes, given he's older and is the influencing factor?

Iniesta like but he was doing it for 10 years before iniesta came along

It’s also because he was not selfish. He didn’t charge about like Gerard or only concern himself with shooting like Lampard. He conducted the orchestra and made the team flow with subtle brilliance and footballing intelligence. Those 2 just didn’t have the football brain to be anywhere near Scholes level.

Like piggot he didn't say much.He let his craft do the talking just like Lester did.Live and breathe their sport.Both were genius.

That’s because they studied him and based their style on him
