Jamie Carragher reveals why he left Paul Scholes out of his all-time Premier League team
27.02.2022 - 06:51 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has admitted that while it was hard to leave former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes out of his all-time Premier League XI, 'it was always going to be' two other players in midfield.
Scholes is regarded as one of the greatest players to play the position in league history, having won numerous league titles at United and played a key role in their continued success in the nineties and early 2000s.
During Carragher's playing career, the defender came up against United on plenty of occasions and selected five Red Devils in his team.
However, Scholes was omitted from the starting 11, losing out to Arsenal's Patrick Vieira and Scholes' United teammate Roy Keane, and the Sky Sports pundit was asked if there was an argument to be made that the England midfielder should be in ahead of one of the aforementioned two.
"Yes," Carragher replied on Sky Sports' The Overlap "Brilliant player but it was always going to be Keane and Vieira in those positions."
Keane was sitting alongside Carragher and asked if he would have Wayne Rooney up front.
The ex-Liverpool defender replied gingerly: "No."
Carragher did select ex-United players Peter Schmeichel in goal, Gary Neville and Denis Irwin at full back, Keane in midfield and Cristiano Ronaldo out on the wing.
