When you have Zidane , Inesta and Xavi all endorsing Scholes and saying how extraordinary he is , whatever anyone says about him that’s negative is irrelevant. He was simply magnificent .
Won premier leagues in 3 different decades... In the 90s, 2000s and 2010s. Meaning he had to change and adapt his game in 3 different eras. And in all 3 he dominated his role
Bobby Charlton is the best English midfielder ever. I'm a United fan but Scholes is nowhere near the best midfielder England ever had. Bryan Robson was better, I'd argue Ince was better, plus others. Scholes was good don't get me wrong but he wasn't that good. He was fighting it out with Nicky Butt to cement a place in the United team for several years.
@@Ligerpride Not sure you are a United fan! First of all Charlton played winger, forward and midfield! And a little bit like Scholes dropped deeper in later years! Bryan Robson was incredible, I will give you that he was a better athlete and a better tackler but he could not control the midfield like Scholesey and was not as technically gifted as Scholes! Robbo like Charlton was world class but a completely different player! Ince was great but no where near as good as Scholes and Nicky Butt while very underrated was not in the same class as Scholes and did not play ahead of Scholes!!!
@@cleehomes Well said. Robson was a totally different player to Scholes. Robson was the manager on the pitch, a box to box scorer and the enforcer. You could compare him more closely with Keane or perhaps Gerrard albeit Gerrard was not in their league. Scholes was originally the box to box man, but eventually became the playmaker, or the conductor. Everything went through Scholes, who dictated the style and the pace of a game!!!
Scholes could not only excel at the short passing game. His long passing range and his switch of play, which we see less of now, was incredible. Great finisher, brilliant long-range shooting, and he scored a fair few headers for a smaller guy. Total legend.
Utterly wasted by England managers who didn't understand what Scholes brought to the table. Instead we stuttered from one failure to another squeezing Gerrard and Lampard into the midfield. It's staggering just how backward we were here in England during that period when we had all the talent we ever needed, but just didn't know how to apply it!
First half of career (near enough) he was a great attacking midfielder, scored plenty of goals and many important goals too! Then became a deep lying playmaker type and was brilliant at that too!
Scholes was much better when he was in control of the tempo of the game for us. Won us so many titles just killing games off with control and composure on the ball
Giggs for me ALL DAY LONG - I understand that's not popular due to what we've seen after football, but Giggs was unreal. When he got clapped off by the Spanish at the end told you everything.
Paul Scholes was no doubt a world class Player and proved it by playing on the big stage on the other hand I've always maintained if ever a Manchester United player got close to the great George best it was Ryan Giggs
Scholes is a mile ahead of Giggs he was way more consistent and he always pulled the strings in 99% of games . Giggs was a flare player down the wing you don’t control games on the wing ? You do in centre midfield like Keane and Scholes did !
Paul Scholes was evidently the best player in the world, it's clear from watching him play. He just wasn't recognised enough, he led a sensible and modest life without needing to be on the back (or front) of newspapers to satisfy his ego.
One of the things that is surprising is Scholes only scored about 10 less goals in his career than Gerrard did, I can't quite remember if that's overall or just league games. But I expected Gerrard to have scored quite a few more and it was a lot tighter than I thought it would be.
the reason he has strong oppinions now he's not playing the game is cause he was the best! watching others and seeing mistakes must be hard to keep his mouth numb.. united had the best midfield in the world at one point, was sensational to watch
It is generally criminal how underrated scholes is seen by some today Gerrard unbelievable player Lampard a goal machine But scholes a magician in the midfield
I've always said the whole Lampard-Gerrard-Scholes thing was never a debate. I refuse to get into it even as it would simply be insulting to the Ginger Prince! To tell you how high I rate Scholes. If he had athletic prowess, he'd have been considered *_as good as_* Messi. Different styles but same level of genius!
I loved Ryan Giggs, but its not that close to be honest. Paul Scholes could control an entire game, on both ends of the pitch, he set the tone along with his passing and scoring.
1 - Man United fans always bang on about how good he was and yet they never voted him their player of the season once 2 - He never won a single individual award (Gerrard won multiple. PFA player of the year 05/06, FWA player of the year 08/09, UEFA player of the year 04/05 and many others) 3 - He was never voted in the UEFA team of the year (Gerrard was 3 times. 2005, 2006, 2007) 4 - He recorded zero top 10 Ballon d’Or finishes (Gerrard recorded 3 top 10 finishes 2005, 2008, 2009) 5 - He was voted in the PFA team of the year twice (Gerrard was voted in it 8 times which is a record) 6 - He only scored in 1 cup final. 1999 FA cup final (Gerrard is the only player in footballing history to score in a CL final (2005) FA cup final (2006) UEFA cup final (2001) and league cup final (2003)
I'm a United fan. I would completely agree with your post but for the fact that you seem to be using it as a platform to suggest Gerrard was some next level player. Personally I think you raise some excellent points about Scholes but I think both Scholes and Gerrard were massively overrated (yet very technically gifted) footballers and who relied very much on being surrounded by better players such as Beckham, Giggs, Alonso etc.
he had to change his style of play over three different incarnations during his playing time at united and he didn't have the best team around him towards the end yet still produced at the highest level.
Easily in the top ten. In fact top 5 all time. The titles he's won give him that top 5 advantage. Very different passer of the ball, could see things were gonna happen like no other.
All of those guys put Gerrard as the greatest midfielder in the premier league’s history. Jose tried to sign him in three different clubs even while having Lampard in his team. So did SAF with Scholes!
No club in the world offers a deal to scholes because everyone know scholes will only play for Manchester united. He does not even have an agent. If you want to know more, check Moratti comment on scholes. If he want to, every club in the world will be opening their doors. Gerrard is indeed a fantastic player, a better athletic player than scholes but the way scholes control the pace of the game, his football iq, vision, passing and technique are otherworldly. @@tobiastobinho
Shearer shouldve gone to Man Utd after Blalckburn. I know he loved Newcastle but he couldve still gone there later for the last 3,4, years of his career after winning multiple leagues, doubles and a treble. Scholes playing behind him, Giggs on one wing and Becks' delivery from the right, the number of goals he scored in fairly decent to average and poor Newcastles sides, if hed gone to Utd he mightve been the most decorated player in prem history, or one of them!

No need to watch. Yes he was and I stopped watching football about 20 years ago. Dunno if there's anyone better, dinna really care. He had a special class about him
The best midfielder England produced since Sir Bobby Charlton. IMO better than Xavi, better range of passing plus goals, and yes I'm old enough to have seen Sir Bobby. I'm not A Man U fan.
Best?? Apart from Gerrard. Simple question is. Pick 150 clips each of both Gerrard and Scholes. That you think sum up the totally of each hjghlighting the normal.. passing, tackling, leadership, scoring, skill, weakness, etc etc etc you name it. You will find as a compare and contrast on balance Gerrard can match Scholes to a better degree than Scholes can match Gerrard. Both were brilliant of course.
Gerrard was more of an athletes but Scholes controlled games with amazing vision and passing. I'd choose Scholes any day of the week. So would pep whose one of the greatest of all time.
Scholes was great.. But Gerrard could do everything he was the perfect box to box, but kdb will retire as the best playmaker the prems has ever seen and better than everything scholes was good at... There's a reason lampard and Gerrard started ahead of him.. Don't you think????
No. England had clueless managers. Gerrard was one of the best all round midfielders in the world and it's so hard to choose between him and Scholesy but why should we? As for the KDB comment, sorry but no, different type of player but still not as good as The Ginger Prince.
It's down to what you type of player you enjoy. For me Scholes was the ultimate maestro. The way he controlled games with his passing and vision was unbelievable. His passing technique was the best I've seen... Scholes pirlo or xavi.
Bit of an odd statement considering United were better than Barcelona for most of his career and Scholes was struggling to keep a place at United up until he was in his mid 20s.
@abcdefg3214 and that's why England never achieved anything. Short sited management. They also played Gerrard out of position. Gerrard also played out wide alot for Liverpool. Scholes was more of a midfielder that would of won world cups with spain Italy or Brazil. He was wasted with England.
Shearer is a waste of time. He played with Scholes at least 30+ times, against him 20+. Surely he has better insight beyond Scholes’ tackling. Please try harder.
One rightfully negative comment about his awful fouling that he constantly got away with and it sets you off. You obviously didn’t listen to the rest. Try harder.
Nothing wrong with that. At least he acknowledges that he was a great player, unlike a lot of Man U ex players who don’t acknowledge the other way around. I think Neville is one of the ones that has less of a bias but it still exists.
Question for those who consider Scholes the best midfielder ever, which is a ludicrous assertion in my opinion. Can you name 5 stand out performances that he made? What matches was he a talisman in and his performance (not moment) made the crucial difference?
Trouble with Shearer he ended up jealous that he didnt win all tge trophy's he would of won had he signed for Utd when he had the chance and the same goes for Gazza 😂 How stupid were they
I love how Alan shearer is so begrudging to praise a United player, ever. The eyes down and gotta bring the negative in, but know you need to sound generally respectful. And I’ve no bias to either by the way or any clubs they played for. But he’s very consistent on that throughout everything I’ve watched. Just makes me laugh a little.
When ,zidane,xavi and iniesta ,were all were asked ,who was the best midfielder in there opinion ,they all said scholes ,that should be enough for any doubters or critics
He made the premier league team of the season the same number of times as David batty and never won a single vote in the ballon Dor but here we are many years later putting him up on mount Rushmore. It's ludicrous.
When you have Zidane , Inesta and Xavi all endorsing Scholes and saying how extraordinary he is , whatever anyone says about him that’s negative is irrelevant. He was simply magnificent .

Trouble with Shearer it pissedh
Trouble with Shearer he ended up jealous that he didnt win all tge trophy's he would of won had he signed for Utd when he had the chance and the same goes for Gazza 😂
How stupid were they
I love how Alan shearer is so begrudging to praise a United player, ever. The eyes down and gotta bring the negative in, but know you need to sound generally respectful. And I’ve no bias to either by the way or any clubs they played for. But he’s very consistent on that throughout everything I’ve watched. Just makes me laugh a little.
Shearer was so bothered he was cleaning his trainers 🤣
Reading his notes :-) (You can see them on his lap in the wide shots)
Wow, you’re so rattled by Shearer 🤣.
When ,zidane,xavi and iniesta ,were all were asked ,who was the best midfielder in there opinion ,they all said scholes ,that should be enough for any doubters or critics
They all said same bout Gerrard too
He made the premier league team of the season the same number of times as David batty and never won a single vote in the ballon Dor but here we are many years later putting him up on mount Rushmore. It's ludicrous.
@@Ligerpride If you're a United fan I'll eat my own arse.
Scholes said Gerrard. Rooney said gerrard. Mourinho said gerrard. Even sir alex said gerrard.
Micha totally not knowing this generation
Scholes played well under Fergie, but struggled under other managers.
Best ever???
Don't be silly.
Bellingham and foden for the current generation
Scholes retired and United fell off a cliff
No he wasn’t lmao end of

Easy answer… YES!!!
