Manchester United's next Paul Scholes

First things first: There will never again be a player quite like Paul Scholes. The midfield goal-machine turned deep-lying playmaker made an indelible impact on the modern English game.You can find out history about Air max 360 as well as release dates at Nice Kicks. Zinedine Zidane, himself no slouch, once called him the finest midfielder of his generation, backed by Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola: “Out of everyone at Manchester United, I would pick out Scholes – he is the best midfielder of his generation,” he said. “I would have loved to have played alongside him.” Barcelona schemer Xavi has remarked that Scholes would have been appreciated much more had he been born in Spain. His team-mates at Manchester United call him ‘Sat-Nav' for his ability to pick out precise targets at any distance. The Old Trafford faithful will definitely miss Scholes' pin-point diagonal ‘daisy-cutter' passes, and the 30-yard thunderbolts. While tributes to Oldham Athletic's most famous fan will continue to pour in indefinitely, the Manchester United hierarchy will have several questions to answer, not the least of which is: Who will replace Paul Scholes?

There will be no shortage of names thrown about over the summer until Sir Alex Ferguson finally unveils the identity of the player to take the reins of Manchester United's midfield for the next few years (Let's not forget that Ryan Giggs isn't getting any younger, even if some of his displays in the past season point to the contrary). Here are some of the favourites to fill the Ginger Genius' shoes at Old Trafford:

Wesley Sneijder: At just 26 years of age, Sneijder's CV is hugely impressive. He's played for three of the biggest clubs across 3 major leagues in Europe,Fashion wash urban wholesale jeans styles in a great variety of colors and style! vis-à-vis Ajax, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and went on to win multiple titles at each club, not least Inter Milan's treble victory in 2010,If you are looking wear to buy sexy Knee High Boots the you have arrive. where he was the chief architect in the side.

However, Sneijder does play a more advanced role an orthodox central midfielder, so Sir Alex Ferguson would have to shape the side around him, altering the team formation.

Luka Modric: Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has already, on several occasions, remarked on the importance of Modric to the Spurs team, recently labeling him “irreplaceable”. The chief cog in the Spurs engine room, Modric possesses a similar physique to Scholes, but that's not where the similarities end. He has a great range of passing, equally comfortable playing long diagonal balls and short incisive passes. He hasn't found the back of the net with enough regularity, but is certainly capable of adding that to his repertoire, having scored a few screamers in his time at White Hart Lane. In any case, this is counter-balanced with a solid work-ethic, his slender frame belying his tenacity in the tackle. Footballer of The Year Scott Parker recently labeled him as the toughest opponent he had faced, and former Spurs midfielder Darren Anderton had this to say: ‘When you see that Paul Scholes has retired, you think that Luka Modric would be the perfect player to replace him,' Anderton said. “Let's hope for Tottenham's sake that isn't the case.”
