Ex-Manchester United man Paul Scholes has admitted that both Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard and Chelsea legend Frank Lampard were better players than him.
When asked who was the best, Scholes modestly told the BBC podcast 'Savage Social', via the Daily Mirror: "Stevie G and Frank, of course.
"I'm sick to death of hearing about this to be honest.
"It doesn't really matter. People can have their own opinions.
"Them two were amazing, amazing players, but very different players."
Scholes represented the England national team from 1997 to 2004, gaining 66 caps and participating in the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, as well as the UEFA Euro 2000 and Euro 2004 tournaments. Scholes announced his retirement from international football in August 2004.
Scholes added: "Frank played the position well.
"He was in a team where he was allowed to do what he wanted.
"He had the license to go with [Claude] Makelele there [and was] probably the best goal-scoring midfielder that there will ever be.
"Steven could do absolutely everything on a football pitch.
"He was quick, he was strong, he was physical, he could score goals and he could make goals."
He spent his entire professional playing career with Manchester United, for whom he scored over 150 goals in more than 700 appearances between 1993 and 2013.
