I would honest to God love to read the reasoning behind people who don't have Fergie listed, but list players like Scholes, Giggs or Keane, seriously :houllier:

Has to be Sir Alex and Sir Bobby. After that it's open to debate. Cantona and Best for me. Two talisman key to our success during two very different eras.

Saf and Busby are the club. So they must be included. United is built around youths and our best youth manager ever was Harrison. The last slot must go to a player. Who better to represent that then sir bobby?

Sir Alex, Cantona, Keane and Fellaini. But only because I'd be interested to see if the sculptor could get his hair right.

Hard question, but seeing as Mt Rushmore depicts the supposedly greatest men of America in their history, you have to go with the best United figures historically too. So on that basis I'd say Sir Alex, Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton and probably Giggsy.

If it's based on my favourite all time figures and it was going up in my back garden to look at every day, it'd have to be Sir Alex, Cantona, Ronaldo and Scholes for me.

Djemba-Djemba, Macheda, Di Maria (but instead of his elongated face, put a snake mug in mid-hiss) and of course Bebe.

United legends.

Simple enough question, if you were to create your own Mount Rushmore with United legends then who would you pick ?

Personally I'd go with Sir Matt, Sir Alex, Bobby Charlton and Eric Cantona as my four choices although it's hard excluding all of George Best, Denis Law, Giggsy, Keane, Robson and Ronaldo.
A point of order to the op...

I ask you reinstate to Sir Bobbys title?

My 4 choices would be, the 3 sirs and one left blank as a sign to others who wish to achieve greatness as in something to be achieved.
And in time i would hope it would be the 4 sirs who ever that fourth would be.

Of the guys I've had the pleasure of watching week in and out it would be Keane, Scholes, Giggs and Ronaldo. If it's historical importance, I probably take out Keane and Ronaldo, and replace them with Best and Sir Bobby, and if you are including managers its probably Best, Sir Bobby, Sir Matt and Sir Alex, but the idea of taking my favorite player of all time out (Scholes) is tough.

Sir Jose sounds like the name you'd give to your pet armadillo.

Matt Busby, Bobby Charlton, Alex Ferguson and Cantona.

Cantona didn't win as much as others, but he's my favourite United player ever. He was the final piece of the jigsaw that started our rise to success and he had a huge influence on the class of 97.
