Can I say Juan Sebastian Veron (before he joined United)? I always noticed him in Serie A and was thoroughly impressed with him in the 98 W/C. He was part of that powerful Lazio side under Sven.
I was thrilled when we signed him, and while we all know it didn't really work out, I loved the fact that we made a move for a player that the football world coveted at the time. Otherwise I'd vote for someone like Romario or Zidane... and always had a soft spot for Paulo Maldini and Brad Friedel |

Silva is a guilty pleasure for me too. He is a United player playing for City.
But Iniesta tops that list for me. I just love watching him play. Others include Zidane, Xavi, Messi, Bale, Ozil, etc. One player I dislike watching now is Cristiano at Real, its just hurts to watch him as this robotic goal-scorer, when I have seen him as the tricky winger at United. |

Rooberto Baggio was the obvious one for me. Favourite non-Utd player ever.
A few that I don't think have been mentioned: Dejan Savicevic was a genius and a joy to watch. Claudio Lopez and Enrico Chiesa were both erratic but capable of doing ridiculously spectacular things when the mood took them. Ruben Sosa and Alvaro Recoba - two lazy, ball-hogging but jaw-droppingly gifted Uruguayans. Marcos Senna - blossomed into a superb all-around midfielder late in his career. Esteban Cambiasso - another industrious midfielder with a technique thats easy on the eye. Christian Vieri - used to thoroughly enjoy watching him bulldoze through defences with ridiculous ease. |

Right now, in the Premier League, it's Bale. The boy is so explosive, a joy to watch (expects haters to throw poo at me now).
In Spain - Xavi. I never tire of watching that maestro at work (expects haters to throw poo at me now). In Italy - No-one. Got bored of Serie A a long time ago. In Germany - Haven't watched De Bundlesliga at all this season. Is Ribery still good? Other countries/leagues - Meh. |

Zidane, though in general I have a problem admiring players without dwelling on the fact that they don't play for United. I suffered from this problem most with ronaldinho most because of our failed bid to land him.

Iniesta and T.Alacantara. Iniesta since he's the best midfielder in the world and videos of his touches, movement and vision should be shown to academies up and down the country. T.Alacantara because he's going to be a future WPOTY, outstanding talent.
