I compare him to Xavi, Xabi Alonso, Pirlo, Gerrard is a different player his game up until 32 was more of a pure number 10. Before anyone @'s me he played nominally as a cm but didn't have the positional discipline of a Scholes post 2004 and could not measure the tempo of the game. Gerrard was always kick and rush.

​@@DirtyJamesUKA United fan who's always admired Gerrard, not just for how good he was, I admired his loyalty. Shearer, Totti, Van Persie, all players who sacrificed silverware to remain at a club they loved. Gerrard is without question the best example of a player who's made this sacrifice. He could have gone to any team on the continent and gotten into their starting XI regardless of who was already there. Systems would be changed to accommodate a player like Gerrard (no different from the national team's coaches who had the Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes dilemma) The Premier League's best ever 'all rounder' in my opinion, BUT, like you said Gerrard's passion was probably his greatest attribute (which is saying something) Scholes on the other hand was just ridiculous. Feared on the edge of the box, goals from vollies, shots from distance was what got him noticed. How many midfielders have scored a hat trick at a World Cup, their first World Cup?! Scholes has! (VS Tunisia, '98 group stage) Sir Alex thought signing Veron, playing Scholes in a more advanced role would be for the good of the club, it wasn't, Veron was made to piss off, Veron!!!? Best passer the Premier League's ever seen, hitting a ball to 50m, 60m+ to a teammate's feet, perfectly weighted passes for teammates to run onto, AND, THE VOLLEY VS VILLA! Couldn't tackle to save his life but as far as controlling the tempo, dictating play, MAKING OTHER PLAYERS LOOK BETTER THAN THEY WERE, Scholes

They don't make them this humble anymore. If you really followed both players closely you will know that everything he has said is spot on. It's so refreshing to hear a great player speak so honestly about a competitor's talent. Pure class! Big up Scholesy. ManUtd4Life.

Love the honesty and the humbleness. This is exactly right. Scholes wasn't that inspirational player like Stevie he was different, a more elegant player that made the team tick.

It's a shame we never got to see Gerrard in his final form. Scholes and Lampard played under world class managers and in world class teams. Gerrard never had that luxury.

Scholes was better than Gerrard at a certain role in midfield, as that of CAM, but Scholes knows that in other CM positions Gerrard was far better. Scholes long range passing is just a bit better than Gerrard, both as good on each foot and a better playmaker. But Gerrard was a good tackler and was lethal at long range shots, look how many goals he scored more than Scholes, Scholes was also a terrible tackler and i come from the same town as Scholes.

Daughter's toenails must be made of pure humility.

Paul Scholes is utter class. He was nothing short of exquisite in the pitch and I find his lack of interest in himself to be a quality that almost no other players have had before or since. He really doesn’t think he was a big deal and he seems to be confused and disinterested when other people tell him that he was one of the best. When guys like Zidane, both Ronaldos, Guardiola, Messi and countless others consider you to be one of the best….you know you must be great

Won everything at club level, destroyed the best, and got the recognition from the opposition, and still so humble. Come on Paul, it's ok, you can say it, you were one of the best midfielders, ever, three moves ahead. Gerard will forever go down as a one man army. He was out of this world.

I've been following Utd since 62-63 and this guy would comfortably make my best team during that period. Not only was he a class act on the pitch he's the same now he has retired and his humilty when comparing himself with Steven Gerrard is a true measure of the man.

When humility meets honesty

Scholes is so modest. He’s the best.

"HOW?!?! Was it Drogba's, was it Essien's, this for me is goal of the season, it's absolutely unbelievable...."

That’s about as humble as it gets. Top bloke.

Differences: - More a match winner - more of an athlete - better goal scorer - more assists - better defender - won PL POTY awards - record for Prem Team of the Year appearances - in UEFA Team of Century Scholes was never even Man Utd POTY!

They were both great. He’s right. I’m just happy that I got to see them play against each other at Old Trafford back when they were still playing.

Gerard was a match winner but you were a championship winner Paul. There is a unique talent to control games that only a handful of players have at the elite level. Pirlo, xavi, Kroos, Alonso, Pirlo, Scholes, etc. Gerard did not have that. Later in his career they dropped him deeper to control games and he ended up being benched out of an average Liverpool side before he went to LA. Scholes came out of retirement at 37, walked into a united team and won the league.
