Ronaldo is one of my all time high favourite players. I also have a sweet spot for McTominay. He doesn’t always have the skills, but he has the heart.

Looking through the squad we have so many unbelievable players now and some real fan favourites…

DeGea, Maguire, Shaw, Rashford, Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Pogba, Cavani, Ronaldo.

To name a few so who is the fan favourite at the minute or is it too hard to choose?

Unbelievable the amount of stars we have now compared to a few years ago..
That's a very impressive core of players we have, I'm sure Sancho and Varane will be on the "fans favourite" list before too long.

The thing that always sticks in my mind, is when Mourinho said that his successor would be lucky, because they would inherit Matic and Lukaku from him. By the start of the next season, one was sold and the other was no longer first choice.

Ronaldo was my favourite growing up as a kid.

Rashford. And has been for a long time after Wazza left. Before that it was Scholes and before that Big Pete

Bruno. Reminds me of Cantona more than any other player since the King retired. And i include Cristiano in that.

Bruno for his quality and attitude

Greenwood because I'm in awe of his talent and how important he is for this club's traditions

Ronaldo for all the romance and nostalgia

Shaw, Maguire, Rashford, Greenwood, Bruno, Pogba, Ronaldo and you could soon add Varane, Sancho, Mejbri it’s been ten years since we had so many likeable players.

I tend to like midfielders a lot. Roy Keane is probably THE most influential player for me. Scholes and Carrick are huge players too. Had a very soft spot for Berbatov too.

I appreciate the kind of player Matić was, a bit on the fence about McTominay. He has the desire and grit but seems bit lackluster in his overall game.

We've gotten a somewhat likeable team these days, but I have a hard time pointing anyone out. Rashford maybe? His off field doings are hard to ignore.

Ronaldo, his run from 2006/07-2008/09 was just ridiculous. We watched a raw teenager we bought at 17 turn into the best player in the world.

Of all time? It's Scholes or Keane depending on the week, followed by Rooney.

Probably Greenwood. He's the one I look forward to watching the most now.

Before, I'd say Pogba and Martial were the ones I'd want to watch when tuning it to our matches. Always been an admirer of Martial's talent but he's been disappointing for quite awhile and Pogba I see as a real entertainer.

Sancho is the one of those rare players I was a muppet for but he's new.

But there aren't players in this team like Vidic, Scholes or RVN who I'd say I'm genuinely a fan of.

I’d go with Fernandes although I’ve a soft spot for Cavani too. I really like Rashford as a person but as a player not so much.

Greenwood.

I don't know exactly how powerful the feeling will be of seeing Ronaldo in our jersey again but I'll probably love every second of him being here as well.

Spoiled for choice in this team, hard to have a favourite.

I've always had a soft spot for Shaw, Bruno is impossibly lovable, Cavani is class personified, Rashford and Greenwoord are cut from the same cloth. Varane will probably be a fan favorite soon enough. I could go on... Fred, Mctom, AWB, Maguire are all likeable doods, just Pogba needs some warming up to sometimes!

I was never a big fan of Ronaldo personally despite his brilliance and what he achieved with/for us. I respect him nowadays but back then... Some of his antics, and those games where he would just sulk for 90 minutes cos some nasty prem defender tried to hurt him first time he touched the ball. Hope he's learned to deal with that because he's going to get a very quick "welcome back" from first team he goes up against, testing out those 36 y/o bones. Stevey Bruce will know exactly how teams managed to deal with him (on occasion) back in the day.

1. Bruno
He transformed a very dull team into something worth watching. His passion and desire to win is huge and he delivers the stats. Love him.

2. Shaw
Went through hell with his injury and then Mourihno‘s criticism. Battled his way back to be arguably our most consistent player. Just gets on with it. Dennis Irwin 2.0

3. Ronnie
Bit of a c#nt but I’m glad he’s our c#nt once again. Born winner. Him and Bruno combined on the pitch, in terms of their demands and expectations of teammates, will be like having Roy Keane back on the pitch again. Our culture of winning mentality literally doubled overnight.

If I had a son I would want him to grow up and be like Rashford. And, if he played a little football too, would be happy about that as well.

Fernandes. Hands down are best player, contributes in goals assists and work rate and pretty much everything. No player has had a greater impact upon signing since Cantona. Plus he is fun to watch.

Bruno for his cantona-esque effect

Rashford, big talent, home grown lad, super human being.

Greenwood, another homegrown lad, seems very humble, and is just a phenomenon.
