| Ok, I'm sure any football fanatic will have thought of this before. Imagine you could pick any player out of Utd's history to play right now. Who would be part of your dream team? Here's mine: Goalkeeper: Peter Schmeichel Speaks for itself, really. Best goalkeeper I have seen in my lifetime. A real no brainer. Defenders (right to left): Gary Nevile His forward runs and crosses helped Utd so many times in his career. Not the best defender in the world, but a good assist player. Nemanja Vidic Not the fastest defender in the world, but after he was bought, it brought out hte best in Rio Ferdinand, and he is good in the penalty box too. Steve Bruce Was a really good leader and captain during his time at Old Trafford. Great scorer being a defender, and was calm and composed most of the time. Denis Irwin Dunno how many of you can remember him, but I can't really remember a really good left back at Utd. He was just about hte best I could remember, with his set piece ability. Midfielders (right to left) David Beckham Before Posh Spice ruined his career, he was the best technical player I've seen. Precise crossing, corners, free kicks, and scoring plenty of goals. Of course, that was before he wed Posh. Even after that, he still maintained a certain standard of play. Roy Keane (c) My captain. Competative, great tackler and has plenty of spunk. Best defensive midfielder we ever had. Paul Scholes Till now, Scholes is still an intregral part of the club. No longer scoring as freely as he used to, he has now become the pace setter fot Utd. With his excellent passing success rates, he is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world, even today. Ryan Giggs A no-brainer, the position of left winger for Utd will always be him. Great dribbler, crosser, and scorer. Club loyalty goes to him too, being around since I started watching football. Forward Eric Cantona Another no brainer for me, Cantona was the reason I started watching Utd. Brilliant player, but ended his career too early for the footballing world to accept. Ruud van Nistelrooy Not exactly my favourite striker, but he scores goals like it was all he knew, and thus, he deserves a place in my list. Subtitutes GK: Edwin van der Sar The only goalkeeper that ever came close to matching the great Schmeichel DFs: Rio Ferdinand & Jaap Stam Rio can be among hte best in the world, if he just concentrated more. Jaap was the best of his time, but ended his Utd career early because of a feud with Fergie. MFs: Christiano Ronaldo & Michael Carrick Ronaldo isn't my favourite player in the world (as I've mentioned), but he deserves credit for being top goal scorer last season. Carrick is a very underrated player. He does a role that merges defence and attack, kinda like what Andrea Pirlo does for Ac Milan. FWs: Mark Hughes & Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Mark Hughes was the Ruud van Nistelrooy of that time. A truly great scorer. Ole is, of course, the super-sub. And he needs to be here after that goal during the 1999 treble. |

| I'd never thought I'd see Laurent Blanc in anyone's Dream Team. He was a good player, but by the time he joined Utd, he was already way past his peak. |
HalberdierRetsel said: I'd never thought I'd see Laurent Blanc in anyone's Dream Team. He was a good player, but by the time he joined Utd, he was already way past his peak. hehe, I see him as a strong defender with mature attitude, he a real defense general ^^. Actually, I wanna include Veron in first team, I feel he better than Scholes, but he not happy in United. |
| GK: Peter Schmeichel RB: Actually Irwin, hope Rafael will be :) LF: Patrice Evra CB: Nemanja Vidic CB: Bruce RM: David Beckham LM: Ryan Giggs CM: Roy Keane CM: Robson FW: Eric Cantona (C) FW: George Best Joker: 20LE Gunnar Solskjaer :) |
