Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes Tottenham striker Harry Kane's his temperament is in the class of Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "What makes him special? I have said before that he does not have a stand-out quality but scores highly across a number of categories. The more I watch him, the more I appreciate his temperament. Playing in attack is difficult. You are under scrutiny and you have to be able to deal with that. Kane seems to do it easily.

"Take Tuesday night. Martin Skrtel is good at rattling the opposing centre-forward. He did it to a player as experienced as Diego Costa and got a reaction out of him. Yet Kane never reacted to Skrtel once, and never looked like doing so. Then, when the chance presented itself he was ruthless. I have said before that his finishing reminds me of Ruud Van Nistelrooy. The thing about Ruud was that he never wanted to give the goalkeeper a sniff of saving it. Kane is the same."
