Paul is one of those few players currently still playing in the Premier League that every manager would love in his own side. Bobby Charlton said, "He’s always so in control and pinpoint accurate with his passing – a beautiful player to watch." Affectionately known as "the ginja ninja". Paul was part of the new wave of talent that ushered in Beckham, Giggs, Butt and the Neville brothers in the mid-1990s, Salford-born Scholes scored twice on his debut in the League Cup at Port Vale in 1994/95 – and on his first league outing against Ipswich – and hasn't looked back. Now in the top seven highest ever appearance makers and the top twelve highest goalscorers at the club, Scholes is, indisputably, one of the finest talents in United's history.
