Your top 5 favourite Manchester United players of all time

[ManUCanFan]

Hughes
Whiteside
Robson
Kanchelskis
Beckham

the first 3 are probably influenced by my childhood, especially Hughes. I’d be practicing volleys everyday and became quite good at them

No goalie/no team
Edwin van der Sar (Cups...)
David de Gea (The only reason we are not in the Championship)
Rio Ferdinand (One of the Best defenders of all time from England)
Paul Scholes (Mr. consistent, the puppet master)
Wayne Roooney (The bull) (Cristiano Ronaldo - don't like the way it ended, but for sure a player that should be celebrated)

[Flying high]

Robson
Cantona
Scholes
Giggs
Keane

Becks, RVN, Rio and Ronaldo all very close.

I don't see anyone new getting close to that top 5 for a long time, if ever in my lifetime

2. Rooney
3. Evra
4. Van Persie
5. Vidic

 

[ayushreddevil9]

1. Maguire
2. McTominay
3. Lindelof
4. Lingard
5. Rashford

 

[The Purley King]

Robson - world class despite being often injured.
Stevie Coppell - my first favorite player
Ronaldo - watching him develop into the best player in the world was magical
Cantona - the king
Whiteside - beloved by all who saw him play

Whiteside is a good shout actually. Brilliant player and that curler in the 85 cup final was a piece of unadulterated magic.

[redmanx]

Id have to go with the players I most wanted to see play-
Denis Law, George Best, Eric Cantona, Bobby Charlton, Ronaldo or Rooney.

 

[Physiocrat]

Cantona
Giggs
Ruud

Definite top 3.

Not sure who goes 4 and 5.

 

[Heardy]

Absolutely astonished to see RvP to make so many top 5 of all time lists.

An amazing player that delivered a league title and a fitting send off for fergie, but top 5 of all time?? You guys are mental / blinded by romanticism for that last title.

Of course “favourites” are subjective and you’re entitled to your opinion but my god, surely there must be more qualified players…

In terms of players in my lifetime - Cantona, Beckham, OGS, Rooney, Ronaldo.

Scholes, Vidic, Giggs, Ruud and Rio would likely make my favourite 10.

 

[USREDEVIL]

1. Owen
2. Veron
3. Schweinsteiger
4. Falcao
5. Di Maria

 

[IRELANDUNITED]

Favourites: 1. Robson 2. Cantona 3. Keane 4. Scholes 5. Giggs

Least favourites: 1. Tevez 2. Beckham 3. Rooney 4. Pogba 5. Sancho

Strange that you’ve 2 absolute legends on your least favourite list, as well as 2 of our best ever players. To each their own.

 

[fredriti]

Stiles, Best, Cantona, Rafael, OGS

 

[always_hoping]

Of those I've watched live Cantona,Keane,Hughes,Vidic,Robson would probably make my top 5 short list. United teams from the late 80s to 2013 was filled with pure leaders and characters that would have many different favourites for each supporter. Less said the last decade the better whereby one would struggle to name a favourite never mind a top 5.

 

[giggs-beckham]

Beckham
Scholes
Giggs
Keane
Cantona

 

[Hanky panky]

Top 3 is clear. Other two difficult to choose but i answer:

1. Giggs
2. Cantona
3. Schmeichel
4. Scholes
5. Keane
