You can't include any players to have played for Man Utd.

Why nooot

Kidding, maybe OP or mods to put something like "No Utd players" on thread title.

 

[Web of Bissaka]

Henry - Drogba
David Silva - Kante - Solano
E. Davids - Makelele
Azpilicueta - Hyypia - King
Cech

Subs: Shearer, Son, Ozil, JJ Okocha, Viera, Xabi Alonso, Southgate, Carragher, Given​

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Being as op says favourites not best/recent... that means no Liverpool players or Shearer.

Some 'issues' amongst them but nothing that pissed me off and I'd have taken any of them at United (Gazza was close).
