“The number of players who emerged from that system at the same time is unrivaled.”
“Nothing like that has occurred since.”
Many members of the Class of ’92 remain highly regarded, particularly Scholes.
Rod is one of many who believes the former England midfielder would effortlessly gel with Michael Carrick’s starting squad.
He noted: “I have to say Scholesy, I just cherished him. He was extraordinary.
Even legends like Zidane and Xavi
“Their views hold significance.”
