Recent comments made by Paul Scholes concerning Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard have caused a stir among supporters.
The former Manchester United midfielder compared Gerrard to current Red Devils player Paul Pogba, and feels the abilities of the pair are similar.
“I played a bit with Paul and everyone knows the talent he’s got,” Scholes told the UTD Podcast.
“He’s been brilliant for Juventus, brilliant for France in the World Cup and really good at times here [at United] as well.
“He can do everything as a midfield player and you’d probably liken him to Steven Gerrard with the pace, the power, the skill. He can do absolutely everything.”
Scholes’ comments were questioned by plenty of Liverpool supporters.
One fan commented on our LFC Facebook page and – judging by the positive reaction from other readers – gave a solid assessment.
“How the hell does [Scholes] work that one out,” Michael Melia wrote.
“Gerrard [was] a better player with eyes shut than Pogba is with his open.
“Pogba plays when [it] suits him. Gerrard plays as though his life depends on each game.”
