Paul Scholes was always appreciated abroad more than he was appreciated in England.

[@fi7959]

He was asked a question years back, when Barca faced Utd in the CL, about which Man Utd player he would like to have in his team, he said Scholes without hesitation.

[@dranthony1882]

In England they are obsessed with goal scoring no matter how rigid the midfielder is, he'll be the best for them.

[@destro1989]

@@dranthony1882 Metronomic players like Pirlo, Modric, Xavi dont come around very often. Scholes was in the same mould, best English player of the last 20 years. Only one that is similar in terms of achievements in Rooney. Lampard, Gerrard top class scorers and assists but technically Scholes was the best he carried the tempo of the game. You don't win 11 premier league and 2 CLs for an english side, it's unheard of.

[@alexanderishere1857]

Because brits like more crude fighting rather than skill. This is why today some people are asking midfielders to fight some more... Whereas in Spain they ask for more finesse and skill. Scholes had skill and could have played for Barca or Real if he wanted to

Should be an easy question for anybody. Lampard and Gerrard are legends for their clubs, but Scholes is in a whole nother dimension

It's a odd comparison, other than the fact that they are English. Scholes played deeper and was more of a tempo controlling playmaker/distributor while Lampard and Gerrard were explosive attacking midfielders, sometimes even going as far forward as occupying the striker position at times in games.

@@Nooraksi Think you need some kleenex ..you are absolutely in denial for whatever reason...maybe you should just grow up and accept the fact that Scholesy was different class and controlled football matches being at the heart of so so many United title wins..simple as that really. Everyone loved Scholesy and found him inspirational. Your claims have absolutely no sources and you just hold a grudge...also stop liking your own comments because that is incredibly cringey and sad..thankyou and goodnight.

@@TonguePunchMyFartBox. bro are you AI? 🤣🤣🤣 sources are for something that is, not something that is not! I can't share a source of a video/audio/interview that doesn't exist!!! lol It's a person who claims that something exist that can provide sources, not other way around lol🤣🤣🤣 if you can't prove something, then just accept it and go cry yourself in the sleep about it!

[@banditbaker1675]

It's amazing what you can build when you have owners willing to invest in the best, rather than just bleeding the Club dry and running it into the dirt.

Rio well done mate

[@jermainebrown9827]

A prime Rio Ferdinand playing under Gaurdiola 💭

[@NEO786]

Must be strange for Rio as an ex Man U player, seeing our stadium, training facilities, set up, manager, players and our recent glories and achievements. They swing that’s happened in 10 years must hurt the ex reds.

[@martinh1309]

football goes in cycles. exactly what Bobby Charlton etc had to see United go through in the 70s and 80s, just far worse than what we see now

[@martinlewis967]

Maybe it makes Rio’s / utd s achievements greater 😊

[@yanikg-force]

Once again another great manager/player recognizes what a great player Scholes was. Only in England you'll find people disrespecting him. No wonder England have not won anything since 1966. Why? Is it jealousy, envy, or greed? No idea. It baffles me to comprehend, just like the idea of someone like Brian clough never getting the chance at the England job. Crazy when you think of it.

[@che-babyface9960]

Scholes is on of the greatest ever ..

[@winkyben69]

setting up the microphones was probably longer than the interview lol

[@yohanes7650]

4:16 putting this here to reference it after the champions league final.

[@Nightsu]

pep knows ball. scholes is the most talented and greatest english midfielder and most legends of the game will tell you the same

[@MBison-vm6gq]

Lie all you want. Scholes is admired oversees far more than he is here in England. Its a style preference. I can sit down and watch Scholes all day but if you think for 1 minute he's a better player than Gerrard you are bluffing 🤣

[@24sumo]

@@MBison-vm6gq the only idiots in England who don’t realise Scholes was by far the best. Are the ones too young to remember. When all 3 played, this was not a discussion. Everyone knew Scholes was the best. Since he’s retired young kids seem to argue he wasn’t. Which is insane when just about every footballer and top manager who witnessed all 3 picks Scholes.

[@aranyaism]

Gerrard is isn’t fit to lace scholes’s boots

[@benanderson9551]

I dislike City and their owners, but watching them and seeing pep, I somehow put it all to one side and just enjoy the football. Pep is as his mentor was: total football

[@CAM3RoN11]

When I was younger, when Scholes was still playing, I didn't see what the fuss was about, he seemed like a very average player. Then as I grew older, players like Pirlo, Xavi & Iniesta started popping up and they are some of the best players I have seen. Looking back, Scholes was better than the lot of them. My young brain didn't realise that because I was too focused on goals and dribbling.

[@bobbyunited3083]

Pep know Scholes first

[@Dakay22]

where can I watch the full interview?

[@law92__]

Pep is just impossible to dislike

[@martinkiss3333]

Full interview where?

[@bluecarefreeforever]

Still maddening that those 3 (scholes lamps and SG) couldn’t work out together for England! Quite funny hearing Pep’s questions because he wouldn’t have had any of those 3 from his midfield players working for him! 😂😂

[@saeedyusuf8762]

Paul Scholes is loved by anyone who played the the name and knows ball
