Paul Scholes has claimed that Newcastle United’s Sandro Tonali is a better player than Arsenal’s Declan Rice.
The Manchester United legend praised the Italian midfielder as “brilliant” and said on The Overlap: “I think he’s better than Declan Rice!”

Tonali has been a key figure for Newcastle since joining the club, helping them win a trophy and qualify for the Champions League this season.
Scholes believes the 25-year-old has proven himself for both club and country and is now entering the peak years of his career.
Meanwhile, his comments are unlikely to please Arsenal fans, who regard Rice as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders.
