George Best
Major bump.
After the season Giggs has had he has to be considered one of the best. Simply outstanding.
Piece in the guardian today debating United's greatest team.
Is this Manchester United's greatest XI? - Telegraph
GK: Peter Schmeichel
No debate, despite Edwin van der Sar’s timeless brilliance. Schmeichel changed the goalkeeping rulebook.
RB: Denis Irwin
A model of consistency, the Irishman won everything bar the Uefa Cup during his United career.
CB: Jaap Stam
The rock on which the Treble was built. Dutch defender’s just pace puts him ahead of Nemanja Vidic.
CB: Rio Ferdinand
His value to United becomes apparent when he is not there. Just ahead of Gary Pallister.
LB: Roger Byrne
The captain of the Busby Babes, a central figure for both United and England.
MID: Bobby Charlton
Only debate over where to play him, not whether he was selected.
MID: Duncan Edwards
How can you leave out Roy Keane and Bryan Robson? The alternative was omitting Edwards, which was a non-starter.
MID: Ryan Giggs
United’s most decorated and long-serving player. Still tearing opponents apart, 20 years after his debut.
RW: Cristiano Ronaldo
Unquestionably deserves his place. Just look at his goalscoring for Real Madrid for proof.
CF: Denis Law
Nicknamed ‘The King,’ the Scot is in every United fan’s dream team.
LW: George Best
No greatest United team would be complete without the Northern Irish talisman.
Some team.
Only based on players I've seen play
Schmeichel
G Nev Vidic Stam Irwin
Ronaldo Keane Scholes Giggs
Ruud Cantona
Subs:
VDS, Evra, Ferdinand, Beckham, Ince, Rooney, Hughes.
Greatest of the lot........ Roy Keane. Not the best player as such but what he brought to the team was immense. Some teams were beat in the tunnel before the match had even kicked off!
