Henry backs midfield wizard
Thierry Henry believes Paul Scholes would be fully deserving of
this season's PFA Player of the Year award.
Scholes is in the running for the prize along with United
team-mates Cristiano Ronaldo - the bookies favourite to win it -
and Ryan Giggs.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard and
Henry's Arsenal team-mate Cesc Fabregas are the other
nominees.
The Gunners' skipper expects Ronaldo - who is also nominated in the
Young Player of the Year category - to triumph but admits his vote
went to United's other midfield wizard.
"My vote went to Paul Scholes," revealed the Arsenal captain who
scooped the accolade in both 2003 and 2004. "You saw how much
Manchester United missed him last season, and you have seen what a
difference he has made when he has come back this year.
"If Cristiano Ronaldo does not win the main award, I think he
should take the young player award.
"All he was missing was goals and assists - but he has added that
this year and I would be very surprised if he does not win
it."
