Paul Scholes names two current Manchester United players as he builds his perfect footballer

Former midfielder Paul Scholes has built his 'perfect footballer' using the best attributes of Manchester United players past and present.

Scholes, who made more than 700 appearances for United during his trophy-laden career, has selected a variety of players to piece together his perfect player, featuring some who he played alongside during his career. He was tasked with selecting ten players to build his perfect player, all of whom either offered or still offer a wide variety of traits.

Among those to have made the cut that Scholes played alongside during his United career were Jaap Stam, David Beckham, Nicky Butt, Roy Keane, Ryan Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo. They all possessed world-class talents and were part of some of the greatest United teams of all-time.

Only two current United players, however, featured in the former midfielder's dream player, those being captain Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford. Both of them have been big players for United in recent seasons and played key roles in the success achieved under Erik ten Hag last season.

The transfer window is in full swing and United have already got their hands on two players, with Mason Mount and Andre Onana through the door at Old Trafford and Rasmus Hojlund set to follow.
