But Scholes, who is often self-deprecating about himself, was quick to reference how he is no longer in the best shape.
While complementing the ex-midfielder on Rio Ferdinand’s YouTube channel, Pinero said: “I never felt like your quality dipped.”
To which Scholes responded: “Oh it did, it definitely did. There were times when obviously you’re not having a good time.
“As we mentioned before downstairs about me not being an athlete, I am the last person you’d ever… as you can tell by looking at me.”
Scholes tailed off as the pair awkwardly laughed, before the former England international joked: “I can tell you’re trying not to look down but the belly…”
Pinero then turned away and widened his eyes before he moved on with a chuckle.
Scholes continued: “I was never, ever an athlete so I had to have something else.
“I had to have a brain, I had to be clever, I had to be wise about how to get space, how to make space, where to pass the ball.

“I had to have that in my game because if I didn’t have that I was nothing.”
Scholes is widely regarded to be one of Man Utd‘s greatest ever players.

He scored 155 goals and provided 81 assists for the Premier League giants.
His trophy cabinet includes 11 league titles, three FA Cups, two League Cups and two Champions Leagues.
