#3 Paul Scholes
The man, the myth, the legend – the internet might be filled with inaccurate quotes about Paul Scholes, but the former Manchester United midfield maestro rarely put in an inaccurate pass in his life. Such was the vision of the man that he was always highly rated by anyone that had the slightest of ideas about the game.
The fans of the Red Devils absolutely adored him and rated him as highly as the likes of Xavi and Andrea Pirlo. Whether he was as good as them remains a topic of debate among varying communities of football aficionados, but what can’t be argued is the fact that he is Manchester United’s greatest midfielder of the modern era.
Indeed, Paul Scholes played a grand total of 718 games with the Old Trafford outfit and scored 155 goals in that time. He also has several accolades with the team, with the total tally of trophies standing at 25 titles over a span of two decades.
