This man was the heartbeat of a team that won 11 Premier Leagues and Two Champions Leagues. Can people please try to remember this the next time they make Lampard or Gerrard argument. Scholes is a generational player. He really was in a league of his own.

[armchairecon]

Barca fan here, xavi himself said Scholes was one of the players he looked up to. He could play long, short, one touch, could carry, could shoot, could play the final ball. Man came out of retirement and didn't miss a beat ffs.

[alaromukhtar]

It’s 10 years later and we still can’t find his replacement, our midfield is shit. That’s how much of a gem he was

[kigisc]

"How do you want to be remembered" ? "Don't care" Best answer.

[pablopablo]

He had so many of those "I'll do it by myself moments" and just went wild and usually if he scored it was a highlight reel kind of goal.

I remember Man united struggled in the first half of 2011-12 season because of Scholes's 1st retirement. Then how he transformed the team in the 2nd half of that season (nearly win the league) and of course win the 2012-13 PL when United sign another deadly striker (Van Persie).
Just miss how he pinged the ball from 25m - 30m to wingers like Cr7, Nani, Valencia to run, it was so smooth and so easy.

[gurucartel]

He also had one of the fastest brains in football, he was aggressive, he was intelligent. He was more than just a technical player, way more.

[corneliussmiff]

There's a reason Zidane, Xavi and Iniesta call him massively infliental on themselves. Absolute class player!

[dankchill]

I've just learned more about Paul Scholes in 8 minutes than I have in my entire life

[CodeTrix]

Honestly our best midfielder ever! My favourite player growing up. He came through the ranks, earned his position in the first team, dominated the game and retired being loyal to our club and fans. Legend! ♥

[PinderM]

As a goalkeeper growing up my favourite player was always Van Der Sar but my favourite outfield player was Scholes, my mates all loved Ronaldo or Rooney the flair players, but I loved Scholes, I was just amazed at what he could do, how he was always in space, always one step ahead of anyone trying to close him down, he knew what he was going to do with the ball before he had even received it, pin point long pass, visionary through ball, little tricks, control. he dictated play he was a genius. Glad he's getting the recognition he deserves.

[danecadette]

Scholes, Xavi, Pirlo. No one dictates the tempo of a match like these geniuses did today. Modric is the closest in my opinion

[glynmacs]

In an around the oppenents box, he was a master. All teams panicked when Scoles set the tempo. He had almost the same amount of a fast reaction instinct as Inzagi.

[josefh.]

A central midfield pairing of Scholes and Keane at their best – completely bossing the game!

[ik]

That’s why all the legends say he was the best by far… He had it all was a pleasure watching all your career MR Scholes 👏

[toschememestation]

Startet football at 11, and was a terrible shot
Then I got really fascinated by the way Scholes hits the ball, with so much raw strength and still be able to shoot, in a straight line 9 out of 10 times

I practice his motions
(Lost multiple balls to rooftops in the process)

And was finally able to score for the first time, in a game
(It was a banger, from far outside the box)
Thx Paul Scholes 4 teaching me how to hit that thing ⚽️

[mchandsome]

Undeniably one of the very best midfielders ever.

[infn]

Scholesy was the complete cm\attacking midfielder. Intellgent distribution of the ball, impervious to a hard press, pinpoint defense breaking passes, control of the tempo, calm under pressure, lethal from range and the heart of a freaking lion. People forget that he would get stuck in and fight for the team, just like Keano. Maybe even learned from Keano. If one of the lads got hit, Scholesy would have a clattering reply. If we went down a goal, Scholesy would continue working away unfazed, if not spurred on to attack. We had a real character in Scholesy and they're in really limited supply now.

[jinjinyuanyuan]

I have been watching Man Utd games since 2002. Paul Scholes is the player that caught my eyes when i started to support Man Utd. From SS position slowly turning into a midfield maestro. His unmatched talent is able to control the game tempo in every game, and seems to be always made the right pass at the right moment. Every single Utd game that I watch now will only make me miss him more. What a legend.
