The defining moment of their United career thus far.
VDS
Gary Brown Rio Vidic O'Shea Evra Silvestre Ronaldo Fletcher Hargreaves Carrick Scholes Anderson Nani Park Giggs Rooney Tevez Saha Those are the players who i think have probably played enough games this season or had the years of service to have a "defining moment". Of course for some they will create new and better oen in the future but for others there is one in the past that can never be surpassed. But what act or incident this year or in the dcade gone by epitomises each one as a footballer for thsi club in your view? |

VDS - To come in Moscow, for now probably his save vs Liverpool last season at Anfailed
Gary - Him running around like a maniac after we won the European Cup in Barcelona Brown - Arjen Robben brwnd at the F.A. Cup final last year. Had to go off injured, spent roughly five minutes on the pitch. Good lad Wesley, you complete Divinity Rio - To come, for now his casual disregard of Torres and subsequent rapage will do me. Vidic - Plenty of rapage displays, hard to single out one classic moment, so I'll go with his picking his teeth off the Stamford bridge pitch O'Shea - Putting the ball in the scousers net in front of the Kop in the last minute, clearly. His sublime chip against Arsenal and subsequent bemusement is a close second, mind. Evra - His best moment was against Arsenal earlier on this season, setting up Ronaldo to score. Numerous fantastic displays and quite a bit of him holding his face on the ground spring to mind Silvestre - Game against Newcastle a few years ago, where he was left with 3 strikers against just him, bearing down on goal, managed, somehow to close down all 3 while they were passing to each other and eventually cleared it. Strange player, many instances of him passing the ball straight to the opposition which would 'define' him as well i suppose, but I'll be generous. Ronaldo - Goal against Fulham (away) last year to win us the league. Heroic. It was all worth it. Fletcher - Goal against Chelsea. Unexpectedly fantastic. Darren Fletcher, right there. Hargreaves - To come. Untill then, quite a few instances of him running around in circles. I'll mention the Arsenal free-kick as well, why not. Carrick - Roma. 7-1. He is da man. Scholes - Newcastle hat-trick 00-01 season. Magic. Anderson - Him megging Fabregash, for now. Nani - Goal versus Spurs, for now. Latino transvestite. Park - His assist for Rooney against Spurs at the tail end of the 05-06 season. Just continual determination, untill he won it. Defines the chap, for me. Great lad. Giggs - Arsenal cup final replay 99. Absolute legend Rooney - Portsmouth chip, for now. Tevez - Goal against Spurs, last minute. Good lad. Saha - Chelsea Henry-like goal of genius. Promptly followed by 5 yard miss the second half. If he had've got injured, that game would be a microcosm of the lad's career |

VDS - His save from Crouch at anfield last season in the last few minutes
Gary - Running infront of the Liverpool fans to celebrate Brown - Performance vs Barca Rio - This season and last as an entirety Vidic - Hmm...Hard to call. O'Shea - Nutmegging Figo, Cantona-esque chip at Highbury, and his goal infront of the kop Evra - His assist for Ronaldo at the emirates Silvestre - 2 Goals vs Scousers Ronaldo - Hmm..christ...theres a tough one. Like the other fella said, probably Fulham Fletcher - AC Milan at home last season. he was immense Hargreaves - Free kick vs Arsenal Carrick - Destroying Rome Scholes - His goal vs Bradford, his goal vs Villa, hat-trick at SJP, his goal vs Barca...there's too many ![]() Anderson - Dicking them hookers Nani - Goals vs Boro and Spurs Park - Scoring vs Arsenal 2 seasons back Giggs - Arsenal, FA Cup, 1999 Rooney - Hat-trick on his debut Tevez - Performance vs Barca Saha - His goal vs Benfica a few seasons back |

VDS - Save against Tim Cahill in his utd league debut, a taste of things to come. Another one is the 3 penalty saves in a row against Chelsea in the Community shield.

O'Shea - Nut-megging Louis Figo. Also that goal at Anfield. Evra - First game of the 06/07 season - has been brilliant in every game since then. Silvestre - 2 goals against Liverpool in the 04/05 season I guess. Ronaldo - His debut against Bolton, was always destined to be the best player in the world from that moment on. Fletcher - MOTM performance against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi in the 03/04 season Hargreaves - Free Kick v Arsenal this season Carrick - 7-1 v Roma last season Scholes - Volley v Bradford in the 99/00 season Anderson - v Wigan at Old Trafford this season Nani - Ripping Arsenal apart in the FA Cup this season Park - Assist for the winning goal against West Ham at Old Trafford in the 05/06 season Giggs - THAT goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi final in 99 Rooney - THAT goal against Newcastle Tevez - In front of the Kop Saha - Goal against Chelsea at Old Trafford last season |

Van Der Sar - Saved Vassell's penalty versus City in the dying minutes last season. The match that eventually won us the title.
Rooney - His debut versus Fenerbache and his second half performance versus Milan at Old Trafford Ronaldo - Goal versus Fulham Rio - His goals versus Liverpool Hargreaves - Free Kick versus Arsenal Anderson - His second match in the red shirt versus Wigan at Old Trafford. Saha - The way he fought back from injury two seasons ago, and ultimately keeping van Nistelrooy out of the team. Scholes, Neville, Giggs - Treble Tevez - Goal versus Scousers and Blackburn. |

VDS that save on Crouch last year, and penalty save against City last year
Brown - Nou Camp this year, he was immense Vidic - Old Trafford this year, all Drogba could do was elbow him Rio - All of last year and this year Evra - Every time he plays against L'Arse Hargreaves - Anfield this year Anderson - Anfield this year Nani - Wondergoal against the Spurs when we couldn't score Carrick - Roma last year Fletcher - Old Trafford goal against Chelsea. Big game player. Park - His unbelievable header in Rome to set up Rooney this year. Giggs - Too many to name, assist for Sheringham's goal, FA Cup winner etc Scholes Too many - pick a volley or screamer or assist from over the years Ronaldo - His volley on the first game of the season last year when he finished Rooney's beauty cross. Everyone said they hated each other and couldn't play in the same team. They fuckin showed everyone. It was basically a sign of things to come. We all know what went on after that game. Saha - the first time he got injured playing for us Rooney - The winner at Goodison last year. That game won us the league. He celebrated by going to the corner and rubbing it in to his hometown, then he kissed the badge. The winner against AC last year Tevez - Chelsea at OT, Spurs goal, Roma goal, Lyon goal, Anfield WOW. |

Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered that. I've mentioned that a few times, probably my favourite little snapshot of defending I've ever seen. I literally stood up in front of my tv and gave him a standing ovation.

heres a few, the younger players have a long way to go yet and a few likes scholes for example, can define their career in moscow.
Gary - the scousers celebration. Brown - barcelona home / away?? Rio - liverpool at home 1-0, the day that he started to finally win people over IMO. O'Shea - no contest, unless he scored winner in CL final, it has to be anfield. one of the most famous goals of the decade so far. Fletcher - that chelsea goal. Giggs - arsenal 99. Saha - getting injured against bolton. |
