1. Ronaldo - He's the best player that's ever played for the club
2. Best - I didn't see him play as I'm only 32 but by all accounts he'd probably be considered the second best that ever played for us
3. Cantona - The first player to actually have the #7 since names and numbers were on shirts and one of our best ever players
4. Robson - The best player at the club for about a decade and an absolutely phenomenal player and leader
5. Beckham - Modern day icon and one of our best players in arguably our best team. People underestimate just how great he was when the chips were down
Alexis is definitely a worthy successor given how great a player he is and how well he played at Arsenal.
See you had a one vote win? So my vote counted after all.... didnt look like it when it was 6-1.
Agreed.1. Ronaldo - He's the best player that's ever played for the club
2. Best - I didn't see him play as I'm only 32 but by all accounts he'd probably be considered the second best that ever played for us

Seeing as we're all buzzing about our new number 7, here's one for you: if you had to pick your top five United players to wear the #7 shirt, who would you pick, in order of preference?
I'm going to suggest that Alexis is excluded for the time being, seeing as he is yet to take to the field, but there are still plenty to choose from.
Mine would be:
- Eric Cantona
- George Best
- Cristiano Ronaldo
- Bryan Robson
- David Beckham
Yes I would go with that lot, just a different order. Best Robson Cantona Ronaldo BeckhamSeeing as we're all buzzing about our new number 7, here's one for you: if you had to pick your top five United players to wear the #7 shirt, who would you pick, in order of preference?

I wonder if people rate Ronaldo lowly because he left before his prime and dedicated his best years at Real. Because on ability level he was without a doubt the best I've seen in my life time in the red shirt. He won 3 titles and a CL with us in 6 years as well as a Ballon D'Or.
I love Cantona as much as the next United fan and he's pretty iconic for our club, but he never hit the heights and consistency of Ronaldo. I'm not old enough to remember Robson, never mind Best.
No he's not! Not even in the top 3.1. Ronaldo - He's the best player that's ever played for the club
2. Best - I didn't see him play as I'm only 32 but by all accounts he'd probably be considered the second best that ever played for us
3. Cantona - The first player to actually have the #7 since names and numbers were on shirts and one of our best ever players

not even nearly
Not even since football was invented with Sky.
He's one of the best players to ever play the game ? For me Best is 1. Ronaldo 2. But history will put Ronaldo ahead of Best due to his phenomenal achievement. I'm not sure who else comes close
I don't know about a top five but for me Cantona made the 7 shirt what it is. There were club legends who wore it before him but Cantona made the shirt itself legendary.
In my time of being a fan:
1. Cantona
2. Cristiano
3. Beckham
are clearly the best, three legendary players who are beyond doubt in an All-Time squad if not first 11.
Then we're probably talking:
4. Valencia (ironically did all of his best work either side of being our number 7)
5. Owen (the goal against City and lifting a title in stark contrast to a certain former club of his)
Further back the likes of Best, Robson and Coppell deserve a mention.
Blimey. I'm not a Utd fan but I am flabbergasted at that. Deserve a mention? Velencia, Owen and Beckham above Best?
I didn't say he's the greatest United player. I said he's the best player to play for the club.No he's not! Not even in the top 3.
You did.I didn't say he's the greatest United player. I said he's the best player to play for the club.
