I messed up, I should have put Best and Giggs
I have put Best and Ronaldo,
Can it be changed, Please !!!!
Ronnie is a great player but I should have gone for Giggs, he has been doing it for years, with no dramas or hassle, if in another 4 or 5 years of top performances from Ronnie, then maybe I will reconsider, thats if he is still with us then, hope so, not sure if he will be

Most of them have been easy to date. Especially the Goalkeepers one.

Centre midfield should cause some more thinking than we have needed so far

Obviously Best.

Coppell and Hill were brilliant. Straight-forward, no-nosense typical English wingers. Sadly careers cut short by injuries.

Giggs has been great since he's moved to midfield but too inconsistant throughout his career though. Brilliant player.

It's tempting to pick Ronaldo based on his performance so far this season, but I don't think he could even get close to an all-time (spare busby babes) best United team.

Have to pick Best, and Giggs is a strong candidate.

That would seem logical

Centre midfield and attack is going to be really hard to pick

Out of interest why hasn't some spazzer started moaning about the 4-4-2 yet?

i think george best wasnt a wide midfielder. he was more like the playmaker, more like henry who drifts to wide areas a lot.

Bestie obviously.

And Giggs equally obviously - although I used to love watching Gordon Hill play and many of the others, Giggs is the best of the rest.

Gaaaaah! Why do I vote before reading other posts. Went and voted for only Best (he's the obvious choice) while I could have had Giggs in there as well.

Multiple choice... bugger.

Giggs and Best obviously, but Becks in his pomp would have to be on the subs bench ready to come on and convert that last minute free kick!

This is getting a bit predictable, other than the centre backs. You pick your option(s), and hey preston, it confirms that you're right!

Edit: I'm not going to bother edit "hey preston", because I like it!

Ian Storey-Moore was another who suffered with injuries and sadly United never saw the best of him. He averaged nearly a goal every 2 games at Forest and scored about a dozen in 40 odd appearances for United before an ankle injury more or less finished his career.

There's no better site in football than having wingers running at full backs - United have traditionally been blessed in this department...

Sorry Livvie can't bring myself to vote for just two - the seasons long...

Left: Best and Giggs

Right: Beckham and Ronaldo

who honestly thinks that at THIS time in his career Ronaldo is better than Coppell, Hill, Sharpey?

Ive gone for Best and Kan Kan. Best left, Kanchelskis right. Tough decision to leave Giggs out but im thinking of a balanced team

That's an interesting one, because though Bestie often wore the #7 or #11 shirt, he also wore #8 and #10, and for much of his United career was a striker. What was it, 4 seasons on the trot top scorer? 28 in one season if memory serves.

Anyway, Bestie clearly walks in, and it's difficult to argue against Giggs, though Steve Coppel and Lee Sharpe were always favourites.
