For a good reason. He should be nowhere even near this list.Can't believe Ronaldo hasn't been mentioned yet
Just missed him so. I'm only 2 years older than you but started following United religiously in 1994. Cantona was God and in my opinion, only Ferguson played a bigger individual part in the success and prestige of both the modern era Manchester United and the Premier League.No, but close. -2
I remember an argument amongst my friends over who would get to turn up their collar during a kick about after school one day, it never dawned on us we could all do it.Exactly, also annoys me people who call players like Giggs/Scholes/Shearer overrated because they arn't old enough and only saw the back end of their career and judge their opinions based on that.
As a kid of the 90's myself, Cantona was the icon of English football in the 90's, kids often had their shirt out and collar up like Cantona when having a kick about, even kids who never even supported United.
I remember that argument!I remember an argument amongst my friends over who would get to turn up their collar during a kick about after school one day, it never dawned on us we could all do it.
Not a chance. Great player who spent what seemed like half of his United career angling for a move to Madrid.Cantona's a good shout!
Can't believe Ronaldo hasn't been mentioned yet, best ever United player in my lifetime and I've been a fan of a club since 92, will go down as one of the games top 4 greatest players ever players alongside Pele/Maradonna and Messi.
So we have to be proud as a club that one of the games true greats played here and inspired the club to a Champions League and won the Ballon d'Or whilst playing for United.
Fat chance!@Sultan, right outside the ticket office after they've given him free STs for life for the grief they've caused him.
What defines a 'legend' in your eyes?For a good reason. He should be nowhere even near this list.
Im going to ask my brother to see what his views would be, hes a leeds fan and older so he would know more than me.Just missed him so.

He was the sort of superstar you can't quantify by just goals or statistics. He had an impact on this sport in England like that of Tiger Woods, Mohammed Ali or Michael Jordan on theirs in America. He just oozed star appeal in everything he did. For a club on the up and a new professional league in its infancy, he was absolute box office dynamite and at a time when Serie A was the top draw around the world, he was the headline act that began to turn the tide.
Definitely think Giggs is.No single player is deserving. Something with the class of 92 could be fitting.
It can only be Cantona. He set the tone and was the catalyst for everything we have ever seen since 1992?!!!I dont know why people buzz off Cantona so much (no offense). He was here for 5 seasons and apart from winning the double and league a few times he doesn't come close to the likes of Rooney, Neville, Giggs, Scholes. Good player but so over rated.
So much of our success over the last 30 years trails back to Eric. He was the catalyst that put the class of 92 on a path to glory. Of course Fergie was at the helm but Cantona was the genesis of that success. Those early PL titles - you can't look past Cantona.I dont know why people buzz off Cantona so much (no offense). He was here for 5 seasons and apart from winning the double and league a few times he doesn't come close to the likes of Rooney, Neville, Giggs, Scholes. Good player but so over rated.
It couldn't be more obvious that you weren't a United fan in the early 90s for you to so incredibly underestimate Cantona's influence.I dont know why people buzz off Cantona so much (no offense). He was here for 5 seasons and apart from winning the double and league a few times he doesn't come close to the likes of Rooney, Neville, Giggs, Scholes. Good player but so over rated.
Considering the player in question and the club he left Leeds for, your brother might not be entirely objective!Im going to ask my brother to see what his views would be, hes a leeds fan and older so he would know more than me.
He certainly wasn't Ronaldo or Bestie on the pitch. He was very talented and more than that he had that charisma and character which became the catalyst on the field and dressing room for our prolonged success. Prior to his United move, he won the League with Leeds, and we missed winning the League when he was suspended.I dont know why people buzz off Cantona so much (no offense). He was here for 5 seasons and apart from winning the double and league a few times he doesn't come close to the likes of Rooney, Neville, Giggs, Scholes. Good player but so over rated.
That was Pep complimenting Redmond with lot of passshuuuuunnnn
What about him berating Redmond?:
No chance of getting planning permission, his hair would block the Emptihad’s right to light.Fellaini

Better how? Because Shearer scored more goals? If you like plain numbers fine, your call.No, better. He wasn't close to the likes of Del Piero, Ronaldo or Batistuta. Just my view like I said no offense

Well. The clock is there.tbh we should have something related to Bubsy Babes, a team which had so much potential and has a unique mystic about it.
