Juventus Starlet Yildiz Honored by Paul Scholes’ Recognition

Juventus’ rising star Kenan Yildiz has expressed his gratitude and honor at being acknowledged by Manchester United legend Paul Scholes. The former midfielder had posted an amusing Instagram story about the young talent following Juventus’ Champions League match against Manchester City.

Yildiz, who recently received the Golden Boy Web award as voted by Tuttosport readers, garnered over 350,000 votes for the accolade. His performance in Juventus’ 2-0 victory over Manchester City in the Champions League caught Scholes’ attention, prompting the ex-United player to share a post asking “Who the f*** is this Yildiz??” accompanied by applause emojis.

When asked about Scholes’ recognition, Yildiz responded, “It’s truly an honor to be appreciated by a champion of his caliber. It brings me great pride, especially coming after such an important win against Manchester City.”

The Turkish international, though not on the scoresheet, impressed with his overall performance as Juventus defeated Pep Guardiola’s side. Yildiz has also pledged his commitment to Juventus, stating his intention to spend the next five years in Turin, “giving everything for the shirt.”

Having recently signed a contract extension that runs until 2029, which included being awarded the iconic number 10 jersey, Yildiz appears set for a bright future with the Bianconeri. His recent accolades and recognition from football legends suggest he is a talent to watch in the coming years.
