Scholes spoke of Liverpool's greatest ever player and Man U fans attack him

The only unconvincing thing that a club can have with respect to its fans can be the way in which they interpret the values, respect and affection for the colours towards the institution, and people should understand that these rivalries should only exist on the pitch and cannot be transposed beyond the playing stages, with a recent incident involving Paul Scholes who referred in an excellent way to Steven Gerrard, not pleasing this simple but great recognition by some Reds Devils fans who attacked their own legend.

Although the concept of legend is held under an erratic prejudice that speaks to what a player can achieve on the pitch, in reality these elements are the ones that earn the most merit off it, such is the case of Scholes who can be shown in a video shared on Twitter by LFC Transder Room how he expresses himself about a Steven Gerrard whom he knew as a strong midfield rival.

Perhaps in recent years there is no one as qualified as Paul to express a concrete opinion of what Gerrard was as a player, but it seems that even though he recognised him as a better midfielder than himself, this statement does not seem to have sat well with a Reds Devils fanbase.

Perhaps in recent years there is no one better placed than Paul to express a concrete opinion of Gerrard as a player, but it seems that while recognising him as a better midfielder than himself, this statement does not seem to have sat well with a Reds Devils fanbase that has taken it upon itself to make unfair comparisons with Steven himself as well as other great Premier League midfielders.

Merseyside knows how to recognise greatness  

The former Man U man's comment evidently endeared him to Reds fans who, while seeing Gerrard as one of the best midfielders at the club and in the Premier League as a whole, are aware that Paul turned out to be a far more winning element in terms of titles, leaving only the memories of those who were able to watch the two men in action on a regular basis to enjoy the luxury of seeing them face each other at North West Derby.
