Paul Scholes reveals the three TOUGHEST Premier League stars he played against during his stellar Manchester United career

Paul Scholes has revealed the three toughest Premier League stars he played against during his time at Manchester United.

The former United midfielder featured 718 times for the Red Devils and won 11 top flight titles, three FA Cups and two Champions Leagues during his 19 year career at the club.

However, he says playing against the likes of Robbie Savage, Patrick Vieira and Pape Bouba Diop made life difficult for him at Old Trafford as they were 'big' and 'quick to close him down'.
