“When I was the England manager he was the first name on the list”

Quotes praising Paul Scholes seem like a never ending stream.

With a quick Google I’m sure you can find a who’s who of football singing his praises and rightly so. Even now in the twilight of his career he still pulls the strings for United as he showed against Bursaspor prompting Glenn Hoddle to state:

“When I was the England manager he was the first name on the list, he was the jewel in in the crown.”

Scholes still has the ability to ascertain how and when a game will go and how United’s attacks will go. His ball for Bebe’s goal was beautiful in how he masked his intentions.

The person brought in to fill his boots faces an impossible task!
