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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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! ♥

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

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.

My favorite player favorite player no joke 💯 paul scholes 🐐 great video 🤙🏾

I’m a Liverpool fan . I don’t care what any one says . Paul scholes to me is the greatest central midfielder ever .

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 👏

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 ⚽️

What Man Utd need is a player similar to Scoles. Bruno isn't the same, Paul didn't lose focuse or desire. His desire was almost always fierce.

Paul Scholes told the inter president if you want me to play for you, you will have to buy Manchester United ❤

Undeniably one of the very best midfielders ever.

A king on the pitch but a ghost off it. Was a great professional. Lampard and Gerrard got more hype but Scholes was the best imo.

My favorite players have always been Wazza for how hard he worked, Henry because he could finish from anywhere. And Scholes because he was simply a class act.

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.

Scholes was stood on the touchline at anfield for the media, the kop welcomed him with "you ginger manc tw*t, you ginger manc tw*t, oh paul scholes, you ginger manc tw*t" and scholes gave them a wave of acknowledgement. Man utd were knocked out of the champions league by barcelona, and iniesta and xavi both ran to scholes for his shirt. One of the best midfielders in world football, let alone the premier league. Man utd fans were spoilt in the saf era with the class of 92, and scholes was a massive part of it. As a kopite myself, i should hate him (and saf), but gotta respect and appreciate greatness when you see it.

The one Paul Scholes moment I always remember was fro the Champions League against Juventus. Man Utd had been in a group with Juventus and I think they had lost to them in both games, then they were in a group with them again the following year. At Old Trafford Juventus went ahead really early, but Man Utd equalised in the first half. In the second half I can remember Paul Scholes being through on goal and taking the ball around the keeper to put them ahead in a match they ended up winning 3-2.

I'm italian, and he is my all time favorite. He was a mix between Iniesta's controll and Gattuso's aggressivity, with Totti's shooting and Pirlo's passing. Practically perfect. He should've played for AC Milan. He could have won more. And Milan too, with him.

I wouldn't call Scholesy underrated.All of us United fans love him.Park ju Sung is the definition of underrated. He played a crucial role in the 1999 ucl semifinal but was excluded from the finals squad and Ferguson has said he regrets that till date .Ferguson believes we might've defeated Barca if Park was asked to stop Messi .This guy single handedly stopped Maldini.Truly a legend worth mentioning.Was a big game player for us.He sacrificed his career for us as the roles he were often used in coupled with his knee which was often injured ended his career.He always turned up and also scored often in big games.

Never realised Paul Scholes was that little when I was a kid. Now I see it, it makes his achievements even more remarkable

Without doubt the greatest midfielder of his generation.

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.

it would have been amazing to see him at inter. But respect his choice of staying all his career in Manchester. What a player!

One of the best to ever play.

Scholes was an absolute legend... His tackling was awesome.... Haha... God bless Scholesy...💙 🙏

Whenever anybody brings the whole Lampard vs Gerrard debate I always say Scholes was the best of that era. Amazing range of passing, and he wouldn't lose the ball often - the man was a ghost when he needed to be, he was a great tackler when he needed to be. Lampard has that goal record for a midfielder, which was incredible, but Scholes was brilliant (and high praise from the greatest players in that era as well)

His goal against Villa is one of my favorite goals of all time.

RVNR is the dream of all mids, never wasted any ball, always ran hard, could go aerial if needed.

Many years ago a taxi driver talked to me, about this little ginger lad who was coming through the youth team and how good he was. It was Scholes and he wasn’t wrong, the grey man in the team but absolutely fantastic.

Unbelievable player man u never replaced him never will

I was lucky as a united fan who started following them at 8 years old in 93 as they began their domination of English football and took it for granted that we were a winning machine for the next 15 years but throughout that era nothing came close to the pleasure of watching Paul Scholes ,he was such a natural a true artist on the pitch ,no nonsense, no bravado ,effortlessly excellent pretty much ever match

He sounds and talks like Karl Pilkington! I'v had the honour of seeing him play several times, against my team, he was very special and is a true English legend.

Would walk into any mildfield nowadays

A monster player.All respect from Brazil

Legend, my favourite United player

All respect to Scholesy, totally agree with pep, he had it all... Intro music?

I've been a Manchester City supporter for 57 years , Paul Scholes was an absolutely fantastic player and England should have played him a lot lot more the class of 92 where legends

I was born 1985 and paul is the greatest midfielder i have ever seen

An incredible talent that didnt get anywhere near the recognition in an England shirt as he should have. Love his attitude to life, very similar to mine in as much as he isnt interested in social media, doesnt care how he is rekebered, just gets on with his life out if the lime light. A wonderful player that proved his class when coming back from retirement to show the others just how its done. Many of the class of 92 players are greatly missed especially given the current crop playing for United now.

Considering how things are going on at our club, I would bring Scholes back from retirement in a heartbeat.

He was literally a magician, what he was doing is trully magic ❤

Wherever he was on the pitch - Scholes knew instinctively what to do, where his teammates where and how to play the killer ball. The guy just 'knew' - it was like he could see the game from above. There aren't many Englishmen who could walk into any team, Scholes is one of them.

"Facebook, Twitter and all that? Why would you want to tell everyone what you're doing?" Perfectly put, scholesy.

Scholes playmaking ability was just simply work of art..

I've always admired Paul, he was a brilliant player, he is the sort of player that demands you to respect him for his amazing ability with the ball! I wish he played for my club!

Massive respect to Scholes from a Liverpool fan

Best player ever in his position ❤😊

Very underestimated player. As a German, I remember that he was around forever being a permanent nuisance in international matches (even in the times when we still knew how to play football). Further, he is an ispiration for the smaller guys among us (which I am one of) proving that it is not about being 6 foot plus or pumping iron in football. I would not even say he was unathletic. He was fast enough for the job, had a terrific shot, did fierce tacklings and I am sure that (getting home from the pub) also did some execise. He was just not the tallest guy on the pitch. But so what?

Love his attitude

Class video guys thank you! What a player Scholes was ❤

My favourite player of all time, and I don't even support United.

So underrated by a lot of people, just got on and done the right thing on the pitch...I think he could have made it into a world 15 team.

Scholes, the ginger assassin

My two favourite players are Cantona and Scholes, watched them both Live growing up, as personalities they were completely different. Cantona was everything I wasn't foreign, poetic, arrogant (or so it seemed) and I idolized him, as I got older Scholes was like me, Mancunian, from a council estate, shit hairline, droll, scruffy etc. but fucking hell I don't think people who didnt watch him live week in week out appreciate just how good he was. There's highlight reels of course but watching him being the smallest guy on the pitch and absolutely boss a game with his brain and his passing was something else. Press him he'll one two it up the pitch, don't press him he's bombing howitzers 50 yards to wingers or full backs, his ability to do that and put the pass on the players stronger foot for him to run into space goes unappreciated, not to mention his heading. I waffle on any chance I get about him. He's from where I'm from, he could do everything (the tackle thing is a myth, tactical bookings and revenge) and lads of my age lived vicariously through him. A genius footballer and a real working class hero, would never talk himself up or brag, constantly says he wasn't that good and hates being complimented. As pep said 'I love it'

I've been waiting for you or raymar to make a video on scholes since I discovered your respective channels. the wait is finally over.

One hell of a miss kick. Jokes aside my favourite footballer period.

best modfielder who could tackle, what a player he was

Fantastic work done on this, Learnt so much about someone I already knew alot about, Thats quality work 🎉❤

Nail-biting highlights provided here. Amazing work.

He had strength on the ball. I watched him play, he shielded the ball as well as anyone except. Figo, Zidane and Ronaldo.

Inter Milan were not the only club to try to sign Paul Scholes. Peter Reid tried to sign him for Sunderland; admittedly, he didn't get very far.

Oh it was absolute pleasure to watch this guy play, Sir Alex built the team around him and rightly so, when he received the ball, even if there is no one in the wings wide and ahead to receive the ball, he would play a one touch with others and the wings knew they had to spread out and 99/100 he would reach them, that happened everytime he played no matter the opposition.. It was magnificent just to watch this man tick, absolute genius; he knew how to keep the markers at a distance or draw them when needed, he knew where the spaces are or how to create spaces, top notch skills and more importantly excellent vision.. A coach's favourite dream.. Cant figure out how England coaches were oblivious of this.. England would have won more trophies had they utilised this man properly..

He was pure magic brilliant little player

Everyone was talking about Xavi,Iniesta,Pirlo but the players were talking about Scholes.

Most underrated player ever, probably coz he never blew his own trumpet, what a legend, what a pleasure it was to watch him week in week out, I’m slightly younger than the class of 92, and yes I was spoilt, the man could do anything he wanted, he was never built like a footballer but what a pleasure to watch, another player that Could be as good with the athleticism that I watched last night, Bellingham, just wow

Scholesy was a diamond! A true natural footballer; technique, vision and general football IQ, passing, finishing, movement, scored goals from all ranges, workrate...just an awesome player💯

Scholes & Keane were 2 of my favourite midfielders until they retired. Solid in midfield,no nonsense and just football.

I'm a staunch Liverpool fan, but what a player.

Scholes was pretty much like bergkamp. Smooth touch and could setup the attack and finish himself.

One of the greatest midfielders England has ever produced

Absolutely great player,a true legend

He thought a step ahead and had the technique to do what he saw. Loved the way he never made a pass for show but because it was the right pass. England's most talented player since Gazza. Both had all the elements that make elite players.

I remember growing up, I really wanted to be Scholes. I had his number on my shirt and would practice his long range passing. I think United downfall started after he retired.

Excellent video loved it take care and keep up the good work ❤

He got better and better, but always stayed humble, and its the generous players that make for the best football.

Him and Gazza are the most gifted British players ever

I wouldn't say he was slow by any stretch of the imagination. He wasn't a sprinter but he was nippy.

My all time favourite player pure genius

This is what the perfect football player would look like. What a guy

Scoles football IQ when on the pitch was as high as any other top footballer. But his temperament was better than anyone on his day.

Im not even a United fan but it defies logic how hes so often overlooked for Best 11's. When youve got the list of admirers he has and yet the average fan looks elsewhere you have to question if theyve ever watched a game of football. Perhaps his understated manner saw him never reach that level of love and respect that other players do. Rooney was good, Gazza was good. Scholes is the best player England have ever produced and the one you can really put in the same sentience as Messi, Ronaldo, Zidane, Xavi etc etc

Best ever mid from England ever, more importantly a really humble fella. Pleasure watching it all Scholsey. From a dead jealous Scot.

Humble genius.

Paul Scholes was my favorite midfilder as soon as I saw him play for the first time. A true legend.

It's such a regret that golden generation of players didn't have a great manager to lead them and the blame lies squarely with the FA. Playing Scholes out left in a 442, whilst 4 of the best midfielders in the world got beaten by an extra man everytime against top opposition. It was like asking our team to play with 10 men against the top teams. The manager should have had the balls to drop Lampard and played a holding player in his place. That team should have been built around Scholes & Gerrard.

Was at OT before and it was a match with Rooney, Ronaldo et all and Scholes completely ran the match, everything went through him. You dont see it as much on TV how good he was.

Bro really came out of retirement n won a league just to say he doesn't care how he's remembered. Just as a good footballer Mad❤😂

A top class player, an artist of the game. How does someone call him unathletic after him having played in the most elite form of the sport in the best of its form. Unbelievable

The greatest English midfielder ever period

This was great, thank you

One of, if not the, finest English players of his generation who played at a ground less than 30 miles from where I live and I can't recall ever having heard his voice before. Did his talking on the pitch.
