Arsenal legend Thierry Henry hails Man Utd hero as ‘best Premier League player’
ARSENAL legend Theirry Henry admits ex-Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes was the best player he ever faced in the Premier League.
Thierry Henry hails Manchester United legend Paul Scholes
Scholes won 11 top-flight titles during his 22 year association with United, along with three FA Cups, two League Cups and as many Champions League winners medals.
And Henry believes Scholes was the best player to grace the Premier League, despite playing alongside a number of greats during Arsenal’s Invincibles season of 2003/04.
But Henry feels Scholes was undervalued, adding: “I don’t think people have given him the credit he deserves. He’s one of the best, if not the best I’ve played against.
“He could do anything. Unfortunately for him, when he was playing for the national team, for England, sometimes people didn’t see it like that.”
