Paul Scholes has sparked debate after naming Newcastle's Sandro Tonali as the best midfielder currently in the Premier League. The former Manchester United legend's choice follows Gary Neville's nomination of Moises Caicedo, with fans and pundits weighing in on the topic.
Scholes, regarded as one of the finest midfielders of his generation, plumped for Tonali, who joined Newcastle last summer. However, others have put forward different candidates, including Arsenal's Declan Rice, Liverpool's Ryan Gravenberch, and Chelsea's Moises Caicedo.
Mirror Football's team gave their views. One writer described Rice as a '£105million bargain' and key to Arsenal's title hopes. Another favoured Gravenberch, calling him 'one of the best value-for-money signings'. A third argued that Rodri is the best but cannot be picked due to injury, instead highlighting Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson as standout performers.
Bruno Fernandes was also mentioned as a talisman for Manchester United, despite lacking major trophies. The debate underscores the depth of midfield talent in the Premier League this season.
