Silva missing games always made us look a very ordinary side under Mancini or Pellegrini.
Hard to compare
You would easily accommodate both in the same side without getting in one another’s way like gerrard & lampard suggesting different roles
Well feck me they had a good go at it yesterday! Nothing was being mentioned about the games in hand for a while!

Who then? And offer some insight into your opinion. If you think scholes all day long that must mean by quite a margin.

Both were awesome, but slightly different.
Scholes had an amazing range of passing and was brilliant technically, just not very mobile and awful at challenging.
Silva was much better at international level, although I accept nowadays WC and EC etc are inferior competitions.
Both are or were world class. Its like the Gerrard/Scholes/Lampard debate, you can make a strong argument for either.
Not sure there was a wobble Nick ….well not with over 100 points in the bag.
Dunc maybe Becks when he was given freedom of movement was the closest United came. They seem to go for the more box to box players like Scholes, Keane, Robson and now when he has direction Pogba.

To be fair. He did miss the first game we lost last season at Anfield.

An didn't you get knocked out the cup aswell around that time. I just remember city were not as convincing without him
The "special one" might need to coax Scholes out from retirement. Even after being out of the game for a while he probably has more energy than this Man U. bunch yesterday!
All I know is that I feel blessed as a City Fan to have been able to watch the genius, that is David Silvia, play for the club I support with such distinction.
I expect a great deal many United Fans feel the same about Scholes.
Both fantastic players in their own right, who are equally revered by their own supporters.
