Former Manchester United midfielder Scholes, who won 11 Premier League titles, believes Gerrard “deserves to have a league winners’ medal”, and says the 34-year-old should have moved to Chelsea when he had the chance.
“It's difficult for me, as a United fan, to say it's a pity that Gerrard has never won the league,” he told The Independent.
“If there was a time to leave Liverpool and join another club, he should have gone to Chelsea when they tried to sign him for the second time after he won the Champions League in 2005.
“It always looked like Chelsea would win the league more than once.”
Scholes also hit back at claims that Gerrard’s achievements would have been diminished had he won trophies at Stamford Bridge, and he wonders if the star has decided to leave Anfield because of their slip from second in the Premier League to eighth.
“There are those who say it would have been worth less with Chelsea. I disagree,” he added.
“Moving clubs is part of football. I was lucky that my club were strong enough that I could fulfill my ambitions there.
“I wonder if part of his decision to leave Liverpool now was that, compared with last season, the club look much further away from the league title.”
Who agrees with Mr Scholes?
