This dude has won premier league title, then he retired, then he comeback to the squad and won it again! such a boss

Scholesy’s 30-yaders in a CL match under the Old Trafford lights with the Singhs sitting just behind the substitutes and staffs - legendary sight.

Fuck sake man some of those passes he has no business even thinking of doing but he executes them perfectly. Its practically magic.

Severely underrated. This guy was a genius.

That's why Zidane and Inesta want Scholes to be their team mates.

Older United fans like myself saw Scholes do this week in week out. I'm just happy younger fans get to see what all the fuss was about. He deserves to be named alongside the greatest midfielders of his generation.

Paul Scholes was a player that all the great teams in the world dreamed of having, but because of his love for Manchester United, he played at Manchester United until the last moment.

Paul Scholes basically has the vision of the entire field in his brain with all the players positioning, knows exactly where his team mates are and how fast they are running, has the ability to put the weighted pass that ends up right in front of his running team mate and doesn't get robbed off the ball. Just that only not much else but can't find a replacement.

The weight of his passes are more fascinating than the accuracy. The way the ball drops with enough momentum for an attacker to control it and shoot is just masterful.

I still remember when Inter Milan interested and make offer to him, and his response is - 'You can buy me, but u need buy Manchester United too'. Such big respect for him on his loyalty, very underrated player during his career but disrespect from some rival fans ☹️☹️

One of the most well spended 10 minutes of my entre life. Absolute magic from an amazing player.

He passed the ball to all the great no 7s from Erick, David, Cristiano, even Owen.. His touch soft as a young nurse. Respect to the legend 💯

My favourite player of all time. Thank you for this video. Plus his long passing is just one aspect of his game, his short passing is also great, he had the intelligence to always make the right pass at the right time, it's the kind of skill which doesn't always translate well into a youtube video but those of us who were lucky enough to see him play will understand. He controlled the flow of the game, he has ridiculous shooting ability and scored goals galore. His technique and close control was impeccable. He really is a unique midfielder in the history of football, my favourite player of all time.

"No celebrity bullsh*t, no self promotion - an amazingly gifted player who remained an unaffected human being." - Roy Keane, my captain!

Severely underestimated. Zidane called him the best midfielder when asked about him being the best midfielder. And the Barcelona youth trains by the Scholes principle, which are those quick turns Xavi and Iniesta where so famous for because Xavi actually watched everything of Scholes and was a big admirer.

I feel like he's who Rooney got his long-passing game from

If passing was rewarded this man could dominate "golden passing boots " super legend we respect him🙌

2:13 disrespectful 😂😂🔥🔥

Paul scholes is the heart of man u ..he is such a talented midfielder for his accuracy passing and the way he reads the attacking for goals..salute you Mr Paul scholes 👍👍

1:20 the timing is unbelievable!

I love scholes. Any one notice how good Valencia's first touch was.

Because it's Paul scholes some say he was an above average player. If it was Xavi doing these passes . People would say. World class. Maestro

I don’t think there has been a player that current Manchester United need the most than a prime scholes. His leaving left a giant hole in our midfield that has never been filled.

2:10 Pass of the Century 🙏🏽

What I am most impressed with is the weight on each pass that he produces time and time again. It's a dream come true for any attacker.

for those who ask " he just passing sideways " dude, its 30 yards into the final third, the ball is easy to control, it open the half space of wing back and cb, not just that, from midfield area to final third in a matter of second is really huge for the team to exploit the space

99 passing confirmed

Pace, agility, shot technique and work rate. Simply a joy to watch!

They didn't call him sat nav for no reason. Definitely the most under appreciated footballer by most fans

Miss you Scholesy. My favourite United player ever. Would give and arm and a leg to have you back in the team again.

Wonderful playmaker and brilliant player. Its a privilege to saw him playing.

I am not a man utd fan but he is one of the best players I have ever seen live. He was like a surgeon cutting defenses open #Legend

Scholes was the best ever English midfielder period. He was Zidane, Henry, Xavi and Iniesta favourite player.

His teammates say it was impossible to get near him because his brain was ahead of the rest. SCHOLES was not flamboyant player who did a lot of tricks for the cameras, his was simple but accurate stuff. It's true that if he wanted to attract the camera, he could do it but he saw no sense in doing so

Easily for me one of the greatest footballers of all time.

0:58.... Scholes killed that defender and he wasn't even near him, just like a sniper.

Paul Scholes could find Madeleine McCann with a pass

His eyes: see things most don't see His brain: always a step ahead His passes: accurate and weighted His awareness: always know exactly where his mates are Only flaw in his game: lack of some pace but he never needs to rely on this though😁

This is so beautiful to watch. Thank You Mr. Uploader

Paul Scholes = the mailman. One of the few players who knew exactly where his teammates where.

He was terrific young, sneaking about in the hole behind the forwards, scoring fair share of goals. But for me, when he had to adapt, and people forget, he got concussed and had vision issues in this period as well, he did something you rarely see. A quarter-back alike football, where the backs and midfield players would hand it off to him and he would play it short, medium, long, and diagonal switching the play like a fucking master orchestrator at work. Magic. In the last.. two years? I watched as the team degraded and kept giving the ball away. I could see from afar frustrating that poorer quality meant wrong workload. But bottom line, he made Man United worth the entry fee. And all the players people talk about, the Giggs, The Cantona, The Andy Cole, Sheringham, York - and the wingers - those wingers could hug the line, the ball would come. They could make the run, the ball could come. Magic. No greater words than Bobby Charlton saying he was his favourite player. Nuff said. Done. Dusted. Put a fork in it. And if you don't rate Scholes - You don't know football. Lastly. Not one to roll around crying. He came up through the school of Robson, Ince, Whiteside, Moses, Stiles. I fucking LOVE that he was willing and did play the hard and dirty work of not letting others play while strumming the orchestra in the night. Magic. Red_Devil. Exactly. Not the greatest athlete, and troubled by hot weather - which is why I think the big tournaments don't show much for him. Incredible career. Blessed with talent. Lucky in that regard but matched with a work and team ethos which took him to an incredible level. Man U in the golden period would not have been without him.

Scholes is better than lampard and gerrard Edit: this is how you create a big discussion

Art in motion not only the range but the weight and accuracy is next level, glad us united fans and every football fan had the pleasure of watching this man play football

0:22 Duuuudde!

One of the few players retired on time when he was looking good. Not like when people fall to ground and then retire. Then immediately came to teaching. He and Giggs both were amazing and did their parts for ManU

This is the main reason why man utd was so strong during ferguson era

People may call me ignorant, but I would say anyone who doesn't appreciate Paul Scholes to the best doesn't understand football.

Boy was a genius. Probably one of the best all time players.

The most underrated midfielder in football history

Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs the best midfielders I’ve ever seen. Their passing was incredible!

This is my opinion, I don't think there is another central midfielder in history that could ping the ball with such technique and accuracy. Scholes had a range of passing unmatched by any other player. Long or short, those cross diagonals from inside his own half were just pure arttistry. He never ever lost the ball or mistimed a pass even feom over 50 yards, we watched in complete awe of his consistency. The weight of the pass through and behind defenders, he didn't just pass the ball, he caressed it with extreme precision. He knew exactly where the ball had to go before even receiving it and the type of pass to make. The most intelligent player on the field and unbelievable how good he was. He never got the true recognition he deserved because of his quiet personality. Never did interviews. He was the shy boy with the red hair and yes Gerrard and Lampard were great players, but Scholes was like watching Picasso paint a masterpiece everytime he passed the ball. It was that beautiful.

Ben Foster says if Paul Scholes is the most skillful player and I literally agree.

Obviously his pass skill and accuarcy is kind of like art but also his teammate’s first touch and clearing skill is fantastic. All harmony with their teamwork

Has always been my fave, will forever remain. 2:09 cheekiest pass in the history of football? Probably not, but...it was against a certain side... The master of the outside of the boot pass, especially the "flick on". You captured it many times in this tribute. Figo and Henry said it best, "on the pitch you can't catch him" and "without a doubt the best player in the Premiership". Verbatim. I could quote so many others but those were the ones that stuck out most to me. Oh, and Socrates, "Good enough to play for Brazil" That's pretty epic. One day someone will come along and be his equal but I am biased, I just don't see it happening.

Great player, respect from LUFC fan👍💛💙🤍.

What a passing quality...genius

There were many good passers in that Man Utd midfield, Giggs and Beckham were also superbly accurate into feet and running onto the ball and Keane of course was a great all rounder. Scholesy adapted to all the eras under Sir Alex due to his footballing brain.

Reason why I support for Man Utd.. Scholesy!! 🔥🙌🏼

Outstanding. Some of them are inch perfect. 👌

He made it so unreal. You can't do it like him even when you are playing FIFA.

Masimo Moratti : I want you to play for me Scholes : Okay, just buy Man UTD then. True legend, Ginger Prince.

i always thinking that Roy Keane leadership style as a captain & his ability to control the midfield is the key to MUFC success during SAF era. However, this living legendary footballer is really the best architect for his team and it's unbelievable when he is so underrated. His ability to make long & even short pass accurately is totally crazy! And don't forget his so many volley shots too! This man is talented! CR7 is so lucky to have been playing alongside Scholes in those days! TQ Scholes for being loyal & entertaining us to the maximum level!

Paul Scholes had something in his head to scan teammates on the pitch. It was either a one touch pass or one touch to setup himself and make the pass. The accuracy and weight of his passes are unbelievabe, and scored so many wonderful goals as well. I always ask myself if there was something in his boots that people didn't see. He was a joy to watch!

I've been watching football for 15 years I have never seen a player pass the ball like him next level player TBH

"Sometimes you've just got to throw a grenade out there, make something happen" - Paul Scholes

This guy was incredible just a sublime footballer.

Those little scooped through balls are so hard to defend against and Scholes was the master of those

this is key of Manchester by Fergie, make Winger one by one with defender

Him and Carrick could pull off the most unpredictable passes you'll ever see. UNDERRATED!

And sincerely I love you dearly, Ginger! Forever the best of the bests Scholesy!

Dinks, curls, outside of the boot, driven, caressed, lofted etc the guys range of passing was off the charts even at the end of career. What a player scholesy

it seems he always applies backspin on the ball whenever he does long-passes to ensure the ball doesnt go too far.

The god level passing passing right there, Paul Pogba needs to learn a lesson or two from Paul Scholes

Such precision. A joy to watch.

This guy is not of this world. He is so incredible. I just wish man it's will have another player like him.

He was such a Gem

Rooney tried to imitate this style of play at the end of his career. Not bad tho

I remember watching match of the day when there was a young lad "marking" Scholesy for the opposition. The lad had so much energy and at the start of the game Souness said that energy wont matter. Scholesy moved away in that half second the lad wasnt watching and always one touch passed to the teammates the entire game. The lad was replaced at half time for another player who was older wiser and still got nowhere. Watching Scholesy was just amazing. He was head and shoulders above everyone else skill wise. He just made it look so easy. His only weakspot was his tackling and that really didnt matter all that much since he was always the one dictating the play. His ability to move into space at the perfect moment, and be where he was needed at the perfect moment.... Then land a 30 yard pass, time and time again, some games it was just a passing masterclass as no one could get near enough to stop him. He needed half a second and he already knew where he was passing the ball to. Very rare to see him dwell on the ball. I think the biggest difference was you would watch a player nowadays, they take their time and then make 2 of those passes a game and people comment. You just expected to see 15 of those passes a game from Scholes, on the turn with no space, and you were almost surprised when they didnt connect perfectly to the striker. It was just nuts to watch.

As a gooner, whenever I saw these Scholes-passes I was worried...because this ability was unique and it always changed the game. He changed the game tactically by his ability: before and after him there was no player making well reachable long distance passes on production line. Today 80% of long distance passes are defended. So teams don't risk it. Or teams play on the second ball. Scholes passes...only 10-20% were defended I would estimate.

2:10 one of the best passes of all time

He’s so underrated and disrespected by other fans.

I’ve never seen a player pull off a perfectly weighted pass like him. Truly the greatest English midfielder of all time. I am too young to have enjoyed him in his prime but rolling back the days and watching these clips reminds of his true status in the English game.

고맙습니다~ 파워풀한 중거리슛 생강형 말고 진정한 패스마스터 스페셜 올려주셔서 소장하겠습니다~ 😱👍

Reporter to Zidane: “What does it feel like to be the best player in the world?” Zidane: “I don't know, ask Paul Scholes.”

And they compared him to Gerrard and Lampard 😂

Ronaldo said he was absolutely astonished at Scholesy amazing technique in training and on the pitch Scholesy made everything look so so easy and a complete pass master and the master at controlling football matches which is a massive reason why United won so many trophies back then.

I am a City fan but one thing is for sure Scholes was one of the best midfielders that has played the game . Whether he was playing for United or England he always gave 100 per cent . He was a large part of Fergie's success at United .

1:20, 4:03, 5:13, 6:11, 6:59

Great player, treacherous music

unique genius

0:20 Okay, I have never seen a play like that before. Absolutely amazing !

Imagine Rashford speed and constant running, with this guy’s long passing ability.

Far too much fuss made over Beckham when we had this guy

Scholes & Beckham this 2 guys are the mastermind of almost every Man Utd attacks with their passing vision & accuracy

Ronaldo was far blessed to have played with midfield greats like Alonso, Keane, Casemiro, Scholes, Modric, Kroos, and Carrick. No wonder he has such an abrasive work ethic and standards!

2:10 that is amazing

When football becomes Art.

Thierry Henry on Scholes Vs Gerrard “Although I love StevieG I have to go with Paul Scholes. He was always ahead in his head. He was making Man utd tick. The one player close to him could've been StevieG, but for me it's Paul Scholes ”

Scholes passing is like him using a PS controller 🎮😂 class!

Can you please make a Paul Scholes tackling master class vid?
