I think he'd now have to admit hes better than all 3 combinedDavid May was there when Paul Scholes made his United debut in the League Cup at Port Vale 16 years ago.
The Ginger Magician was unheard of back then – but May knew quality when he saw it.
Wind the clock forward to 2010 and May insists there is still no one to touch United’s midfield maestro – notably, a certain Yaya Toure across the other side of town.
“I don’t think there is anyone in the Premier League who can touch Scholes at the moment,” he said. “He’s not just three passes ahead of everyone else, he’s three or four shots ahead of them.
“Yaya Toure’s on about £200,000 a week. He couldn’t lace Scholes’ boots.
“If he was that good why did Barcelona let him go? I speak to City fans all the time and they can’t believe he’s on that type of money.
“What’s the return you get for that money when you watch him play? He wouldn’t lace Scholes’ boots, Roy Keane’s boots or Bryan Robson’s, yet he’s probably one of the world’s richest footballers.”
