Are you for real fredrik, honestly? If you are in the age to have seen both their careers since the start like me, its absolutely baffling to say Scholes is better.
Btw, Scholes was an AWFUL tackler, one of his main weak points and his way to show how "english" he was, by playing aggressive just because its ingrained to his footie culture, despite being awful at it and kept getting red cards unnecessarily, should focused more on what he did best, pass and blast the goal to smitherins.
Btw, Only things Scholes has over Xavi is shooting and off the ball movement offensively in finding space around the box.
