Rooney SETTLES Midfield Debate: Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes & Keane
Wayne breaks down midfield mastery, Gerrard’s power, Beckham’s example, why Ji-Sung Park was the ultimate engine and the one player he calls a true genius.
Wayne reflects on the best midfielders he ever played with - from Steven Gerrard’s dominance and how he would have wanted him at Manchester United, David Beckham's quiet leadership and Lampard’s timing in the box.
Wayne looks at Roy Keane’s authority, Michael Carrick’s understated control and why Scholes’ football brain set him apart. There’s high praise too for Ji-Sung Park, the relentless engine who stopped Andrea Pirlo and how players like Darren Fletcher and Owen Hargreaves played key roles at Manchester United.
And which opposition midfielder stands out to Wayne? And what is his ultimate midfield line up?
