Paul Scholes, a former midfielder for Manchester United, has been chosen by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as his preferred player over Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard.

The fans of each team prefer to support each of the three players, but the opinions of the players and managers are typically the ones that garner the most attention.
Guardiola answered Ferdinand’s question about the debate, which will please United supporters. Ferdinand was a former Reds defender.
Guardiola said the following to Ferdinand on Vibe with Five: “With all due respect to Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, Paul Scholes is my preferred player. My favorite. In my opinion, he had everything except for the other two. Frank and Steven Gerrard changed this, after all. I like Paul Scholes the best.”
Scholes made a total of 718 appearances for the Reds while he was at Old Trafford, scoring 155 goals. During his 38 appearances for City while on loan at the Etihad, the midfielder, who spent just one season with the Blues, contributed to 12 goals.
Before joining LA Galaxy in 2015, Gerrard scored 185 goals for Liverpool throughout all competitions. Although he was never able to experience Premier League glory, in 2005 he did win the Champions League.
