Nope. Rooney I think was banned for this game and with the old style jerseys, they were numbered from #1-11. Scholes wore the #10 that I suppose Rooney would've worn had he been available.
Scholes the englishpassmaster...criminally misused by England.The team should have been built round him,our best playmaker by a mile.Have Gerrard and Lampard ever dictated a game by their passing?Certaintly never in a England shirt!
Zidane said Scholes was his toughest opponent and the best midfielder of his generation while Barcelona's Xavi , currently the finest midfielder in world football said Scholes was his role model and the best all round midfielder for the last 15-20 years and the great Brazilian Socrates said Scholes was good enough to play for Brazil ...need i say more ? He recently returned and United look different class , what a player .
from a chelsea fan!! "are u watching this Frank lampard cos this is what a central mid or attacking mid is supposed to football like u fraud" rant over!! by far the reason manchester united are not united anymore untill u find another scholes hahahahahaaha!!
The thing that really blows me away is the fact that after a while his trademark long pass would barely get a mention from the commentator, because he was so consistent. If any other player did one of his long balls it would have its own analysis on Sky Sports or MOTD. He is quite simply, amazing. Welcome back.
it sounds silly but players are overly athletic now and base too much of their game on speed and being strong. What happens when your legs start to go when you hit your 30s, you have no class to fall back on like scholes. Where you think bale and walcott will be when they are 35 ?
@mrrandom111111 more then every man city player.. i read more of his stats since in this season that his average passing rate is 92% and he is running as much as carrick/m
Passing range is class as always, but there's no way he covers as much ground as Carrick who covers the most ground of all our player in 90% of games.
Nah not at all.. He's not an outstanding player that's for sure, but he is a good player. The kind of player you need in any top side - good all-round footballer, tactically he's supreme and he helps us get the best from our more talented players. I could go on and on about things he does very well but the point is he's far from a rubbish player. What makes you think he is?
@logybear86 He is a good player don't get me wrong but to replace some one like scholes no way...He makes far too many mistakes in recent UCL games and that's unacceptable for a team of united's calibre...Fergy should have bought a creative midfielder back in 2010 some one like Ozil/Gotze would have made a massive difference.
Well he wasn't exactly the main culprit let's be fair, and he doesn't make that may mistakes, but obviously when he does they're highlighted more such is the nature of his role in the side. He's not a Scholes type I agree, he's more of a support midfielder, but we need a new talisman in the centre. Carrick I think deserves a lot of credit for the job he's doing in a two-man midfield often with tactically unaware players beside him.
@mrrandom111111 what is the name of the first song?Scholesy is the best player I've ever seen in midfield,20 or 37 years old,he will always be our mid king...great video
"In the last 15 to 20 years the best central midfielder that I have seen — the most complete — is Scholes. I have spoken with Xabi Alonso about this many times. Scholes is a spectacular player who has everything"
Scholesy was just pure class.. Not even arguably the best long-passer in the history of world football! Many think that Beckham is a better passer, but Scholes' passing over the field is just amazing to watch over and over again! The rumours that Scholes would do a comeback for Manchester United the rest of this season made me smile the rest of the day!
@felix8989 taking into account that Scholes played in what was/is a better league than La Liga and his performances in his last seasons with his age in mind, Scholes was at the level of Xavi, but a different type of midfielder. A pure English midfielder, small like Xavi but a lot more physical. He was also a better finisher than Xavi is.
To be fair Xavi has had a greater career considering the three CL wins and a treble like Scholes. Still, Scholes has 5 more seasons than Xavi, let's see!
@aseq2 You're an idiot. You're saying if Scholes was Spanish he'd be the best Spanish player ever? He wouldn't even feature in the top 1 English players ever, let alone the Spanish, who are a vastly superior footballing nation.
Great video...completely epitomises Paul Scholes. Had the pleasure of meeting the man in Portugal, in a waterpark with his family. He had time for everyone. A true legend, and true gentleman. If his tackling had improved, he wouldn't have been as feared.... Long live the best player (in my opinion) that has ever graced Old Trafford.
@seanmbrosnan VDS the defence rooney and scholes, the defensive ability and ball retention made manu win and then rooney up front doing something clinical, it wasnt hernandez because he did the same thing as berbatov, so it didnt matter, berbs dosent get played anymore because he is making a new squad fergies recycle, and he thinks welbeck and hernandez can both become more very soon, i agree mainly
@GoAlienUFO the song is 'time is the enemy' by Quantic. If you enjoy this then you will probably like a lot of stuff from the same record label which is called 'Ninjatune'.enjpy!
Just wow. How Young and Nani would miss these passes.
His decision to retire is because he thought he wouldn't be fit to run throughout the match? Heck, just play him in a 4-5-1 with 2 ball winning midfielders to give him the ball, the wingers and striker will have a good day.
paul scholes was an utter genious, his passing, awareness and vision were as good as ive ever seen, if spanish would have been named world player of the year at least twice!!!!
Everyone talks about the quality of Scholes' long passing and undoubtedly there's a reason they called him 'Satnav'. But for me what really underlines Scholes' genius was his refusal to be idiotic with the ball. If a 5 yard pass was better than a 50 yard pass he'd choose the right option. Scholes' decision making and ability to keep the possession going was his key gift and its what England's national side have been shown as lacking at big tourney's since he quit international football in 2004.
@Crosshandz true, especially the part about England. Sometimes people don't realize what they've got until it's gone!!! And Man United are finding that out the hard way now.
tell me, who passes more accurate and better than him? NO ONE!
