What other player has the likes of Zidane, Xavi, Figo, Pele, Pep Guardiola, Viera and a host of other excellent players from every decade, talk about them in such high regard, Scholesy has to go down as one of the most humble and most talented players of any generation, I ❤️ Paul Scholes, and I really miss him, we won't see another footballer like him for a very long time.
All the clips there show the brilliant finishes and passing but what made him so special was his football brain. He just completely ran football games, that's what helps you win titles. They could win and get draws without getting out of second gear.
Scholes never spoke never shout and never doing silly and unnecessary thing, but the way he play only positive thing to the team plus he is intelligent strong and skillfull
@@ChristopherMarfleet You are forgiven, as a United fan I find myself watching Thierry Henrie from time to time, the best Left winger in the premier League imo. No offense Giggsy.

I just wanted to watch some scholes nostalgia , but zidane was referring to the genius how he read the game , his 40 50 yard pin point passes either foot anywhere , not even zidane could do that , timing , choices, his tackles were the worst but kinda funny , pele even well any stiker would say yea with him id score so many more goals. Xavi iniesta all of em are behind scholesy , and if had a little more pace that woulda been frightening and 1 more.thing since 17 consistency 😊wow decades #legend
La gente habla hoy en dia habla de Toni Kroos como si fuese un jugador único en su estilo, cuando décadas atrás jugó alguien con las mismas características, e inclusive con más habilidades que él, obviamente me refiero a Paul Scholes.
Scholes is the underrated GOAT midfielder. He got both defense and attacking skill, tackle, long shot, free kick, dribble, header, corner, long pass everything. If Alan Shearer is the back bone for Newcastle, Scholes is the back bone for Man Utd. Once he retire the whole team collapse.
Scholes is very good at tackling opponent especially to stop opponent key players. He is the predator on the pitch. If Im a football manager, I would sign a midfielder who can tackle rather than these days Man Utd players, all the Midfielders are being the victim for opponent team.
@nasrulfauzi Scholes came out of retirement because he missed playing. He was involved with the reserves & trained with them. He approached Sir Alex regarding this, if Utd didn’t want him then he’d go somewhere else. Within 15 minutes Sir Alex was on the phone to David Gill regarding a contract.
yeah, as a mid fielder, can't hold/dribble when attacking, can only spend yellow cards when defending...... btw, what's the best rank of england when he played??? lol........
@@bestfc100 That was a game where he scored from a volley straight from a corner. Against Bradford I think. It was one of the pundits I don't remember who. Pub styled player, pint size howitzer.

Grew up with him. Greatest midfielder ever and such a humble local lad.
Yes, the real howitzer
Paul Scholes was so special, and one of the greatest midfielders of all time, if not the greatest. Absolutely genius. A legend of the game.
Thank you for acknowledging

One of my all time favourite Midfielder in the World Paul Scholes.
Long shots are a beauty that we don't get enough of today in United.
To be fair thinking about it volleys in general are rare these days
United players take plenty of long shots. They just all end up in Row G 😂
Only showing his goals is a disservice to him, the goals were probably 10% of his game. Immense player.
I'm working on his passing
you're right but showing all he did would probably require like a 3 hour video? lol
If the ball's on target...Its going in..,simple😂😂😂😂❤❤❤SCHOLES THE GOAT...KDB DOESN'T GET NEAR HIM
The respect he has from all the other great players of that time tells you everything.
never get bored of watching that goal against villa. He was so well balanced he stayed on one foot for about 10mins
10 minutes? 🤣🤣
my heart beats differntly watching these old scholes clips
You wonder if we shall ever have such players with us
What to argue about if WE love soccer? The answers were given by these best professionals of Scholesy time.
Respect 🙏🙏🙏
He scores goals, he's Paul scholes, Mumufmufc ok, watched home and away through out the 80s, 90s, 2000s simply the greatest midfielder of his generation, the 🐐
Paul SCHOLES THE MASTER.
I think Most of his goals were outside the 18yard box. What a player he was
Scholes is one of my all time FAVOURITE players..............
You had your pirlos and iniestas making the game look elegent.....then you had paul scholes....rough....rugged...and the best the world has and will ever see!!! The game misses you scholesy!
Good old days, good old football😢
Everything was beautiful
Nobody strikes the ball better than Scholes. He didn't play for the camera otherwise he would have been more famous n respected
Thats very true. Agreed

Amazing the number of goals scored from 18+ yards. Underrated by casuals, but respected by his peers. Maybe MUFC greatest player ever.

You've shown his goals. Which is good work. But he had so much more that he did, could do, did.
A peer level player.
There are no stats for those moments, I need to watch all his games 90mins each and cut those clips. It will take me a year

My most favourite player in United 👍🏻
Fans favourites for many years
Вот смотришь и глаза радуются. Красава)
One of the great player in MU
If not the greatest
Rooney Cr7 and even Carrick learned from him... After playing alongside him their game changed completely
Scholesy knew how to crack a ball
Watch these goals everyday top player scholsey
Without doubt the best player for Manchester United in sir Alex Ferguson's days. Proper player.
I have no doubt
Best player in the last 50 years
There are few players who came back from retirement to really positively impact their team's results. Two of them are in this video's title.
Wow, thanks for that critical analysis and acknowledgement
best player all of time
Master of kicking it in on the volley.

2:01 The score at the top knew Scholes had scored before he even touched the ball.
What's more impressive is, Scholes is outside the box and nobody, at any time thinks, "Why's Scholes unmarked?"
Positioning...and watching the players who were assigned to mark you...
Scholes was a brilliant in his prime, but because he's english & played for mu, doesn't get the respect he deserves, it seems only after he retired he gets lauded, some of them goals omg, if a Brazilian or argentine, or Spanish etc, scored goals like that, certain people say omg, world class, English players do it, & it's like very good goal or he was lucky, it pisses me off when this happens, just because someone is a certain nationality, does not automatically mean they are great footballers,
It’s not the wonder strikes - it’s the control and poise he operates with on the ball through his passing range.
Today, few could score those long shot goals the way Paul Scholes did.
Very true

I agree 💯 with you
Some players are revered in their own time, others are revered for all time.
That Solksjaer pass at 1:36 man
Scholes was absolutely ridiculous, id bet he could still give 20 minutes. There's a reason united won loads and he's one of the main reasons
The goal against Aston villa is so sick, you should never see that goal again in your life
🤣🤣👏
I was at most of these games, we were so spoiled. If someone did even an eighth of this in recent years at United we'd be going mad bigging them up.
Right foot, Left foot = Goal.
Scholes > Gerrard > Lampard
In that order
Вот поэтому Евро и невозможно теперь смотреть... Такими игроками как Скоулз там даже не пахнет!!
Guys there are jokers
Rumor has it, with the goals that he scored, x10 of the were missed. Nice stats bro.

Question: "Who's the first player you build a team around"...Paul Scholes
One of my favourite!
All people's favourite
I have been a fan 42 years, my ultimate favourite. Best player I’ve seen live in last 30 years.
I call him Uncle Paule because it feels disrespectful to just call his name. And we are the same age.
Now I see why Pogba had no chance in that team at the time.
Hahaa, Pogba was so young
England need another Scholes.
Where can England get another Scholes
Great player
Great indeed
wrong, it wasn't his goals, it was the whole package. Theres way way more to him than just goals
Yes, his passing ability was a thrill to watch also. Rio nicknamed him ‘Sat Nav’ for obvious reasons.
And Guardiola give respect for Scholes
He admired him too
How many goals he scored from outside the box
Very many
They show Scholes clips to La Masia kids.
😃💯
Zidane respects a lot people, but it doesn't mean he admires Scholes😉
And what if he does
Thank you 😊
Scholesy...
yeah, as a mid fielder, can't hold/dribble when attacking, can only spend yellow cards when defending......
btw, what's the best rank of england when he played??? lol........
As a United player, he won everything winnable
Man united is all in one
✍️♥️
He probably would have made a great spy. Nobody ever seems to see him until he strikes the lethal blow.
Without Scholes MU nothing Winner EPL..2011-2012 Scholes Retire MU 2nd Position.. 2012-2013 Scholes Come Back Again MU Winner EPL
I will choose Scholes over,KDB,Foden,Bruno, the list goes on
He had no choice. Cantona was Zidanes dad
