I'd rate Scholes over Pirlo, but not over Xavi. It is very difficult to compare these players, for sake of argument even if I agree that Scholes didn’t dominate top teams, question is, could Xavi and Pirlo do better job in Scholes shoes against? Remember unlike Xavi and Pirlo who always had two world class midfielders paired with them (such as Iniesta, Bouquets, Vidal, Seedorf, De Rossi, Guttuso), after Keane, Scholes never had player of that caliber to play along, and he always operated in midfield of two. As for replacing Xavi with Scholes in Spanish team, you could say United would not have had so much success under Fergie without Scholes, United’s decline coincides with Scholes too. I am not suggesting Scholes is better or even equal to Xavi but he certainly is closer to Xavi level than any other similar-style midfielder is.
 
Scholes didn’t struggle against top teams, a bit of a ridiculous suggestion. Case and point, Xavi and Iniesta played both legs against United in 2008 Champion’s League semi-final, it was Scholes’ goal that knocked them out of the tournament.
 
It wasn’t Scholes’ fault that United were not as dominant in Europe as Milan or Barcelona. United had a chance to do that after winning in ’99 but we screwed it up by failing to replace Schmeichel and Stam.

Dear Everton fans, please cheer for Manchester City at Goodison. Trust me, last thing anyone want is Liverpool winning league.
 
Consider the following gif as a token of appreciation, thank you!
 

Unsure about Lukaku? Isnt it a bit unfare to expect a 20 year old to be consistent? He is potentially one of the most talented young strickers in the world rightnow, which is why he command the hefty prizetag. If you can get him, you should, he is going to worth much more in few years.

Passes ball to nearest available player and runs forward. He have been scapegoat for United fans for a while now but I dont think he is THAT bad. He'd be better suited in a 4-3-3 system, paired with another midfielder who like to run.

Losing Vidic is a huge blow, I believe he is definately good enough to do the job at United and he is a leader. We could really use his experience, even if he is demoted to a squad player.
 
As for Mata, Gary Neville rightly pointed out that Mata doesn't fit the traditional United system. You guys probably know Moyes' playing style better than I do but from what I know, he isn't a big fan of attacking midfielders who makes little to no contribution defensively.
 
I think both Fellaini and Mata were panic buys. £64m could have been spend better on a true worldclass midfielder (like Febregas, Modric or Moutinho), and a replacement for Evra (like Coentrao, Shaw or Moreno).
