“I like to think I play a little like Luka Modric. He is different from me because he is faster than me, he can get past opponents, but I see some similarities, such as controlling the game,” Scholes said to Savage Social Podcast as reported by Mirror.
In addition to Modric, Toni Kroos is also another player who is recognized Scholes has a style of playing similar to him. In fact he called Kroos more similar than Modric.
“When I saw the two of them playing for Real Madrid, they were similar to me. Maybe I’m more inclined to Toni Kroos, as a feeder and more in control of the game. He is not too physically involved with opponents and has scored several goals from many positions. I think if I choose, I look more like Kroos than Modric,” Scholes said.
Paul Scholes played a total of 19 seasons with Manchester United by playing 718 matches and scoring 155 goals.
