England are crying out for a player like him in their midfield nowadays. No agent supposedly didn’t even read the contracts he had at United. Whatever the causes, these changes produce a slow transformation.

Don’t. His pass to Ian Wright in Le Turnoi was one of the greatest assists ever. Awareness, technique and finishing.

I’d say he got away with a lot of rubbish tackling, purely because apparently everyone knew he couldn’t. Pleasingly hard to impress and with the sort of cynicism born of living under the slate grey skies of the north west, those that enjoy his work see him as an antidote to the more typical hyperbole that Premier League propaganda has inculcated as a reflex into so many. Obviously hated by all opposition fans and gave not a single f***. At a time when England had a “golden generation”, very few of them would’ve got any interest from the big European teams. Manchester United captain Roy Keane has left the club after ruthlessly criticising his team-mates in a never-broadcast interview. Tottenham absolutely should. In later years he developed into that deep lying playmaker role, but he was at his best in the late 90s when Utd were the dominant force and he was a box to box midfielder who banged in goals. Paul Scholes is a 45-year-old Salford-born, one-club man, playing as a midfielder for Manchester United’s youth team from 1991-1993 before turning professional. He was dirty at times. OK, he could leave one on a player and was, let’s be honest, splendidly dirty at times, but there was no denying his brilliance. He is a Leeds supporter…, — David Rigby (@David_Rigby63) October 1, 2020.

BT Sport commentator, Darren Fletcher: “The most grounded and normal superstar I’ve ever met.

That’s partly due to context, of course. Little wonder he was rewarded with a one-year contract extension in April 2009, taking him through to June 2011.While Scholes questioned his own contribution to the United cause midway through the 2009/10 campaign, he went on to show that he remained a hugely important cog in the Reds' well-oiled machine - thanks to a host of majestic midfield displays.

But for all those goal connoisseurs who value the intrinsic qualities of a strike, there are those that call for a more all-encompassing definition of a ‘great goal’ — one that includes context. Paul Scholes' official Manchester United legends profile includes stats, photos, videos, social media, debut, latest news and updates.

United had no such luxury in the more brutal, more thrilling 1990s.

He’s Billy Dane meets Alf Tupper. Time and again, his long raking passes drew gasps and groans of admiration. Paul Scholes has admitted that he didn’t quite mean to strike the ball the way he did for one of his most famous goals. This was partly because he was always played away from his preferred position for England due to the obsession with getting Lampard & Gerrard in the same team he could handle himself! But the context of Scholes’ own transformation should factor into the decision too. Nani ignored, Scholes — some Windows 98 backup version of Paul Scholes, all up-to-date files wiped clean from his memory — tees the ball up with a slight bounce, cuts across it, and hits a perfect strike into the far corner. He would routinely strike a ball first time with power, even if it was coming across him, which is notoriously hard to do. Of course he did. But they will. His appearance as a substitute in the UEFA Champions League final defeat to Barcelona at Wembley appeared to be his final game for the Reds as Scholes confirmed his retirement three days after the Wembley final. Love him.

He’s altered his body shape in the blink of an eye and just smashed this ball.

His parents came to our bar in Benidorm (!) But I was certain it was going in from the moment I hit it.”.

While this is rightly often romanticised, it was typical of the lack of self-aggrandisement of the man that he felt no need to have someone pumping him up for more cash. As the attacking fulcrum, he must’ve been axiomatic to so many United goals across 20 years.
