Ferguson rates Scholes as one of Man Utd’s best

Sir Alex Fergsuon has labeled retired midfielder Paul Scholes as one of the club’s best ever players.

Ahead of the 36-year olds testimonial, against a New York Cosmos XI at Old Trafford tonight, Ferguson told reporters that he feels the ex-England international will go down in history as one of the Red Devils greatest.

“To my mind he will go down as one of the greatest players of all time for Manchester United,” he said.

"I was with Fabien Barthez on Wednesday having a chat and he said 'pass my regards on to Scholesy, he's the best player I ever played with.'

"You see Xavi talking about Scholes, and he's in a better position than most of us to talk about midfield players, saying he's the best player he has ever played against."
