10 best players who have played under Sir Alex Ferguson

#4 Paul Scholes

Scholes came out of retirement to help United win their 20th league title in 2013

The ginger-haired genius came through the youth ranks at Old Trafford and joined the senior squad in 1993 after graduating along with the Class of '92.

Scholes was actually among the last of his fellow graduates to make it to the first team, but there's no doubt that he's one of the best.

In a career spanning 20 glorious seasons, he made over 700 appearances for his boyhood club, winning 25 major honours.

It wasn't until the 1995/96 season that he established himself as a first team player, making 17 appearances. He was ever-present in the United setup in the late 90's and early 2000's, making himself indispensable for Sir Alex with his incredible passing abilities.

The highlights of his game are his vision, passing range, tactical intelligence and long-range shooting. He doesn't shy away from tackles either. In fact, he was suspended for the 1999 Champions League final along with midfield partner Keane.

More recent fans of the Red Devils will perhaps best remember him for coming out of retirement in the 2012/13 season, buying a pair of boots for £40 at the local store, and finishing his first match against Manchester City with a 97% pass accuracy.

As far as England is concerned, he was utilised more as a wide left player. Former England boss Sven-Göran Eriksson has often been criticised for not fielding a midfield trio of Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes, and thus using their playmaking abilities to the full extent.

Paul Scholes is not just one of the midfielders to have played under Sir Alex, but possibly one of the all-time greats of the Premier League.
