Directly under the sun... NOW!
You have 5 past/present United bastards to choose for your unit. Your life would be in their hands. Who would you go to war with?

I'm going with:
  • Keane (The mad bastard/firearm specialist)
  • Vidic (The huge bastard/detonation expert)
  • Zlatan (The egotistical bastard/sniper)
  • Carrick (The brainy bastard/medic)
  • Cantona (The brave bastard/leader)

Zlatan one of the last people I would ever want to rely on in an actual fight never mind consider an actual United player.

Rooney
Vidic
Keano
Stam
Cantona

The first two names that come to mind are Keane and Vidic. Vidic all the way. Keane, an undisputed beast, lost his head against weaker players, but Vidic was a class warrior who if he wanted to could destroy Keano.

After that, Cantona for sure, although going after a fan was poor form. Rooney of course. An unexpected pick but my fifth choice would be Ruud. The man was an animal who could butcher you with the ball or without the ball.

Maguire - That slab head has to be a bigger target than me plus I can always out run him if needs be

Didn't vidic atmosphere go back to his country to serve in the military?

I think sir Alex had to dissuade him from doing so.

PL only:

Keane, Cantona, Stam, Vidic

I’m torn between the last pick…between Rooney, Bruce and Schmeichel.

Oh, and SAF would be the military commander obviously.

Before my time so I never saw him of course - but after what I have read, Duncan Edwards would have been in the team.
