He's one of the greatest of all time. He's not going to be on the bench for any team. He backs himself every time, he'll never put himself on the bench.

He's one of the greatest of all time”. It gives him a chance to score goals and get himself into the Premier League team”. Paul Scholes is also satisfied with the game of the Portuguese but commented on Harry Maguire, who is not playing at the moment.
