#3 Paul Scholes
Paul Scholes's contemporaries consider him as the best midfield opponent to ever play against. Short in stature, his vision was second to none on the football field, was a risky tackler and made runs inside the opposition penalty area to score some clinical goals for Manchester United in his prime. His trademark style of shooting from a distance was a delightful sight for football fans to watch.
Being a member of the famous class of 92, Scholes made 499 appearances and scored 107 goals for Manchester United. In his career at the club, he won 11 Premier League trophies and 2 Champions League titles for them.
