Scholes is a pass master
Date published: 20 August 2010
DARREN Fletcher believes Paul Scholes is bringing a touch of NFL to the Premier League this season.
The life-long Athletic fan has won man–of–the–match awards in both the Community Shield win over Chelsea and Monday’s league triumph against Newcastle United, destroying both opponents with his devastating ability to deliver accurate passes.
Scholes will be hoping to continue his fine form when United visit Mark Hughes’ Fulham on Sunday.
“He is like a deep–lying quarterback,” said Fletcher.
“He is probably better at controlling the tempo of a game than anyone else in the league.
“He can speed it up or slow it down as he wishes.”
