It is probably the saddest day of my life as United fans to hear Paul Scholes retires. In case you forget what our Ginger Prince can do, here’s a video as a reminder.

So long little master, you will be greatly missed!

Xavi: Scholes is best I have ever seen

Manchestered — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 08:05:18 +0000

After Zidane and Xabi Alonso, this time it’s Barcelona’s Xavi sung the praise of our Ginger Prince:

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. He can play the final pass, he can score, he is strong, he never gets knocked off the ball and he doesn’t give possession away. If he had been Spanish then maybe he would have been valued more.

I love you Scholes, you’re the greatest midfielder of all time to millions of Manchester United fans, even if the English media does not reckon that.

Arsene Wenger: Gary Neville is The Best English right-back in the Premier League

Manchestered — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 13:57:59 +0000

Arsene Wenger was not shy in declaring Gary Neville to be the best English right-back of the Premier League era.

If you look at his record, he has won absolutely everything and with the number of games he has played, he is without a doubt the best. I respect what he has done a lot because he was certainly not one of the most talented players in the league. But what he has achieved is consistency. His record is down to intelligence and motivation – he is an example to players who are maybe less gifted than the Ryan Giggses or the David Beckhams. He still make a fantastic career because he is intelligent and highly motivated. He deserves great credit.
