Clueless.
Scholes wasn't even voted as a top 3 United player of the season in any season at the club by the United players and the staff. Not once in 20 odd years. Not Twitter kids but people who played with him everyday. He got massively overrated after his retirement because of 2 good quotes from the likes of Zidane and Iniesta (things they have said about numerous players BTW).
Everybody at the club said Beckham and Keane were the best and most influential players in that team. Many people claimed Beckham deserved the golden ball. Even if he didn't deserve it nobody argued against him finishing second.
He's underrated because of celebrity status. Clueless folks say shit like he was just a good looking guy who was overrated.
Also being the best crosser of all time and one of the best set piece takers of all time with great defensive and offensive work rate is already one heck of a player. On top of that, there's his passing range, shooting ability and Football IQ. He could do it all except dribble really.
R9, Zizou, Carlos, etc rated him very highly and lived playing with him.
I already rebuked most of this but I deleted it as I couldn't be bothered arguing with you.
Scholes was nowhere near as good as Xavi and Iniesta, but when he played alongside Carrick (after Keane and Beckham were gone) he was brilliant for several years.
Also, the same Zidane said great things about Scholes. You say above that quotes mean nothing when it comes to Scholes, but apparently here you are using them in defence of Beckham. Sheer hypocrisy. Obviously they are gonna talk him up, they played with him.
Did you know that those same guys asked Beckham what Scholes was like in the RM dressing room? bet you didn't. All those guys rate Scholes above Beckham.
'He's underrated because of celebrity status. Clueless folks say shit like he was just a good looking guy who was overrated.'
People aren't clueless because they disagree with you, stop being so arrogant. You can also argue it the other way - that celebrity worshippers like you have stars in their eyes when it comes to him and go overboard on the hyperbole about how good he was.
As for passing range - the amount of times I saw him try glory hollywood balls that went straight to the opposition, with both England and Real Madrid, was incredible. In fact, a big part of England's problem was your two idols Gerrard and Beckham trying constant long passes that went straight to the opponent.
I 100 percent believe you are too young to have watched Beckham in his prime. It honestly feels like you hate Scholes because of your love for Gerrard and insecurity that a lot prefer Scholes to him. And Scholes being ugly and Beckham being 'handsome'(allegedly).
In short, you need to calm down the arrogance. Just because people don't rate your man crush as highly as you doesn't make them clueless. You are 100 percent too young to have watched Beckham in his prime.
