Im relatively young so please excuse me for not knowing any players before the 1990′s. I first got the Man Utd buzz when Steve Bruce scored those two injury time headers against Sheffield Wednesday in 1993?

My all time eleven would consist of:

Peter Schmichael – Absolute legend, I loved the way he used to throw the ball past the half way line and set up a goal. That and the fact he’d give anyone a bollocking.
Gary Neville – I just love the fact he hats scouseers as much as me.
Patrice Evra – Best left back in the world in my opinion.
Jaap Stam – Though he let Fergie down the man was a tank.
Steve Bruce – He started Uniteds success under Fergie in my eyes. Lovely bloke too.
Eric Cantona – enough said
Roy Keane – enough said
Andrei Kanchelkis – Not the best player ever but again as a kid I remember the way he used to run down the wing.
David Beckham – He wasn’t the best technically but his influence was great. He was very quick at his peak too, I’ll never forget the first time I saw him live, he was great.
Cristiano Ronaldo – Purely because he is the best player I have ever seen!
Wayne Rooney – Enough said

Eric Djemba-Djemba, now you’re talking! If only they still had him in the United midfield, Arsenal might have won yesterday!

I think Rooney deserves his place, he’s got to be top 3 in the world on current form.

I’m surprised about Hughes actually, but saying that, who would you drop? There’s also no Andy Cole & Dwight Yorke. Between them I’m sure United won more trophies then they did with Bryon Robson & Steve Coppel in the side

I am not a man utd fan but I would have certainly found a place for Coppell, Hughes, Robson and best in the starting 11. Maybe you should hunt down some old man utd games.

Dexy rides again!

In an interview for the New Statesman, Sir Alex Ferguson has conceded that his biggest mistake as manager of Manchester United was allowing defender Jaap Stam to leave the club, while his biggest regret was not signing former England midfielder Paul Gascoigne. (The Times)
