One of the best midfielders of his generation,[1] Scholes has been praised many times for his modesty and attitude towards the game,[2] technical ability, his pin-point one touch passing and his excellent shooting proficiency.Born in Salford, England, Scholes has trained with Manchester United since the age of 14. He then later joined as a trainee upon leaving the Cardinal Langley School, Middleton, Greater Manchester in the summer of 1991, and in his first season guided the club to victory in the FA Youth Cup. His debut for the senior squad came on September 21, 1994, where he scored twice in a 2-1 victory over Port Vale in the League Cup. He turned professional on 23 July 1993, but did not make his breakthrough into the Old Trafford team until the 1994–95 season, when he made 17 league appearances and scored five goals. The 20-year-old Scholes proved himself to be a promising understudy for the likes of Eric Cantona and Andrew Cole.
