One of the greatest central midfielders in Premier League and European football history, Paul Scholes tasted so much success at Manchester United. The Englishman spent his entire career at Old Trafford and won a remarkable 11 Premier League titles under Sir Alex Ferguson. He was a star player and often considered as the best midfielder to ever play for Manchester United and in the Premier League. The debate over whether Scholes was better than Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard still going on to date but if anyone judges by the numbers, then Scholes is miles ahead.

Interestingly, almost all of Roy Keane and Denis Irwin's success in the league came together, winning six of their seven titles alongside one another.

The way he led the team from the front, on and off the pitch and the fact that more than 70k United and Celtic fans paid their tributes to him at his testimonial before he retired in June 2006 says everything. He played 480 games for the Red Devils in his 12-year stay and won everything, including 7 Premier League titles.
