When you say young... you can rememberVDS pretty well. Any reason he makes it ahead of Scholes for example?
(not having a go just interested)

VDS saved the penalty in Moscow and that was the moment I remembered the most in my first United years. I was so young then that I don't really remember watching Scholes and liking him that much, but remember the likes of Park, Evra, Rooney a lot.

That is really interesting.
One of my first memories is Ole’s winner in 99. I never equated the VDS save with that but I suppose it is similar

I find it genuinely fascinating that we've now had something like 70-80 lists posted, and a significant number (maybe 30-40%?) didn't include Rooney in their top-10. Club's leading goalscorer of all time, spent 13 years with us, won a bucket load of trophies but nowhere near as popular as you'd maybe expect.

Rooney is my favourite player ever, it's not even close. I can't decide on a top 10, top 5 is easier to choose and I'll add a special 6th place due to nationality bias.

1. Rooney
2. Keane
3. Scholes
4. Evra
5. Ferdinand
6. Berbatov (doesn't have the contributions like the rest in the list and a few others, but I'm just so proud of his achievements with us as a Bulgarian, so I can't leave him out )

From our current squad, I'd probably include the likes of Rashford, Fernandes and Shaw in future lists, but it's too early to call it right now.

 

[Redfrog]

1. Young (who can forgot the shit birds moment ?)
2. Bébé (Best performance at the homless worldcup, nice story, good crosser)
3. Anderson (liked life, hope he is just as full of joy)
4. Scholes
5. Rio
6. Giggs
7. Beckham
8. Rooney
9. Cantona
10. Vidic

 

[Cultured left ankle]

1. Keane
2. Vidic
3. Gary Neville
4. Park
5. Carrick
6. O'Shea
7. Hughes
8. Schmiechel
9. Cantona
10. Fletcher

I've tried to avoid recency bias with the current squad. I can see myself including Shaw or McTominay in the future - I love a good 'footballer develops into a cult favourite' story - hence including goalkeeper extraordinaire John O'Shea in my list. Other notable omissions would be Fellaini, Young and Cole.

 

[Tom Cato]

1. Cantona
2. Solskjær
3. Johnsen
4. Berg
5. Beckham
6. Larsson
7. Scholes
8. Giggs
9. Rooney
10. Ronaldo

If you're Norwegian and dont list Norwegian players up high, you need to surrender your viking shield and row to sea never to return home.

The list is about favorite, not the best though. Rooney is a legend and one of the best player in United history. But i can't bring myself to like him as a player/person. At least, not on Top 10.
