“I can’t answer that. Gerrard’s a great player. We’re different. We’re very different\u2026 he’s an athlete,” Scholes told Rio Ferdinand’s Vibe with Five.<\/p>\n
“I think he’s more of a match-winner. But he was playing in a team where he probably had to be. I was more part of a team. He was more individual, I think.”<\/p>\n
Scholes continued by claiming he wouldn’t have been able to perform the same role as Gerrard if he earned his fame playing for Liverpool.<\/p>\n
He added: “I wouldn’t be able to do what he did at Liverpool. Whether he could’ve done it at United, I don’t know. I don’t see why not. But I couldn’t have done what he did at Liverpool, no.”<\/p>\n
Scholes undoubtedly will prefer his career to Gerrard’s, though, making over 700 appearances across 20 years for United after graduating as part of the Class of ’92.<\/p>\n
