Gerrard Was A Better All-Round Player Than Scholes And Lampard – Rooney

Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney has come out to pick his best all-rounder England team-mate. He was recently given the option of Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard or Paul Scholes, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, Scholes, Gerrard and Lampard are all different players, but he’ll have to give it to Gerrard’s all-round game because he could defend, pass, run, tackle and score goals.

Rooney added that Gerrard could’ve done what Scholes did for MUFC, but he doesn’t think Scholes could’ve done same at Liverpool.

His words, “Paul Scholes, Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are all different. As an all-rounder, Stevie is the best; he can defend, pass the ball, run, tackle, score goals, set pieces. As an all-rounder he’s the best from that point of view.

From a goalscoring point of view, Lamps was the best. The goals he scored were incredible from midfield and technically he wasn’t at Stevie or Scholesy’s level but there was no-one better at scoring goals from midfield.

Scholesy, the way he adapted [made him amazing]. He was a striker when he was younger so to go to a ten, then midfield then a deeper midfielder dictating the game, I don’t think either of the other two could dictate a game the way he could.

All were world-class players. Stevie could come to Manchester United and be a top player and do what Scholes could do. But I don’t think Scholes could do what Stevie did at Liverpool.”

WOW.
