If you had to pick 1 player who'd score the winner...
for us in the champions league final, who'd it be?

I imagine a popular answer would be 'couldn't give a fuck as long as we win', However, the legend of Solskjaer was enhanced by his winner, for which he'll always be remembered. So which of our players also deserves God like status for eternity?

Giggs or Scholes, to top off their careers and as reward for such loyal and magnificent service? Or a newer player, a current fave?

Rooney or Scholes

Possibly Tevez, but my initial thought was Rooney or Scholes, so I'll stick with that.

Scholes.

Giggs played his part by setting up sheringham in 99.

Scholes' time to shine now.

If it wasn't any of those two then Ronaldo...his league form alone would mean he deserves it.

Neville 30-yard screamer.

Against Liverpool in the final - Carragher o.g. (120)

I'd like Giggsy to score. Would've been a nice follow up to THAT goal against Arsenal 9 years ago. Seems such a long time ago.

Mine would be Rooney.

Future united legend, no doubt about it. I feel he is often underrated by fans and the press...who tend to give all the plaudits to Ronaldo...I think it would be very important to Rooney if he got it.

Hargreaves. Then people would actually start to like him.

If it's against Liverpool then Neville.
If it's Arse then a Gallas own goal
If it's Chelsea then an Obie-one own goal

Ronaldo - anyone who works that hard to win us a League (or several leagues preferably) deserves a place in our special memories collection

As funny as an OG would be, especially from such a bellend as Carragher... it's hardly a fitting way to become European Champions.

Rather one of our own players made a name for themselves....

Unless it was Gallas or Mikel of course

Depends if he actually played well.

Liking a player who has scored 7 goals or so in his career because he scores 1 goal would be logic that gets unstuck when he plays the next 50 matches without scoring again.

If he actually played well in the champions league final I suspect he'd get more credit.

Fine.

Then I'll go with Darren Fletcher.

Paul Scholes, in the past it would have been close between the ginger ninja and Keano though.

Ronaldo
Scholes
Rooney

Giggs already has his moment in United folklore with that goal in the FA cup.
