I can't think of a 5th, so I'm going for Rafael and Fabio as a singular entry. Probably not even in our top 10 full backs ever, but I don't care. Loved those little lunatics.

From when I was a kid and most into United

1) Beckham
2) RvN
3) Schmeichel
4) Ole

If I had to choose a fifth it would be Best. I had a documentary on him recorded on VHS and would watch that and the treble tape pretty much once a week. Thought he was the coolest footballer of all time. Still do.

Can't decide 5th. Giggs, Scholes, DDG, Evra and RVP are all contenders for 5th spot. Probably Giggsy.

Edit: Rooney, all time best goalscorer and winner of every single trophy should be in top 5 of every United fan. Ffs people!

Charlton, a Ballon d'Or winner; a man who was a part of both the Busby Babes and the 1968 European Cup winning side; for decades our record-holder in both goals (as a midfielder) and appearances; a perfect gentleman and the personification of United itself, should be in top 5 of every United fan.
Cantona, the catalyst for our 2-decades long domination and officially the coolest to ever exist, should be in top 5 of every United fan.
Giggs, Scholes, Best, Law, Robson, Keane, Beckham etc.

There're no certainties in a list of personal favourites.

Beckham- even named my dog after him, my idol growing up
Ronaldo- loved him more when he was just about skill, respected him more when he became the finished article
RVP- always have a soft spot with players with such sublime technique
De Gea- seriously good goalkeeper that was worth cheering about during the darkest days
Rooney- would be higher had it not have been for his latter years with the club

in no order, and yes I cheated but 5 is too hard and I’d have Best in there too even though I never saw him play live.
