Paul Scholes openly acknowledged a player he considers better than himself and believes can still improve.
On 3 March 2026, Paul Scholes, the legendary England midfielder known as the 'Lion,' and former Manchester United star from the English Premier League, revealed the name of a player he views as better than himself and who he believes can still develop further. That player is Bruno Fernandes, the Portuguese midfielder at Old Trafford.
Paul Scholes said, "He (Bruno Fernandes) is an outstanding player. He is better than me. Some might see it as a poor start to the season for both him and the club, but Michael Carrick's team is still in the title race. I think Bruno Fernandes plays a crucial role. He is a player who will continue to improve. The statistics he has achieved are incredible. I hope he can maintain this form."
Bruno Fernandes is scheduled to lead Manchester United, the 'Red Devils,' in an away match against Newcastle United, the 'Magpies,' in the English Premier League 2025-26 season's 29th round tonight, 4 March 2026, kicking off at 03:15 Thai time.
