Paul Scholes didn't hesitate when naming his worst Man United teammate who 'couldn't kick a ball'

Paul Scholes revealed the worst team-mate he played alongside across his time at Manchester United.

Scholes was central to United largely dominating English football for some two decades, winning 11 league titles under Sir Alex Ferguson’s management.

Naturally, in that time the England midfielder played alongside some of the Premier League’s greatest players, including Eric Cantona, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Wayne Rooney and five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.

However, according to Scholes, not every player at United was graced with such talent.

Appearing on The Overlap, Scholes said that Mark Bosnich was the worst player he lined up alongside at United, with the Australian shot-stopper not even capable of “kicking a ball” during a disastrous season at the club.

Scholes said: “I thought he was a good keeper at Villa but he came to us, he was so unprofessional.

“Honestly, it was ridiculous. In shooting practice you normally have 15, 20 shots.

“After three shots he’s knackered and I never realised he couldn’t kick a football. I’d never seen anything like it.

“We played Everton in the first game and none of us picked up on it, but he couldn’t even reach the halfway line. There was no wind, it was a perfect day.”

The Australian started his career at United, making three appearances in the 1989/1990 campaign before moving to Aston Villa.

Bosnich then re-signed for United following the 1999 Treble, but lasted just 18 months there before moving to Chelsea.

The shot-stopper departed Chelsea a year later after receiving a nine month ban for failing a drugs test

He returned to football in Australia in 2008 before retiring in 2010.
