We’ve had a couple of people leaving obvious people out so far, but this one takes the biscuit.
How could someone pick Ferdinand ahead of Vidic?
Vidic was Ferguson’s most important signing since Ronaldo.

Ridiculous carry on.
I don’t know how anybody could leave Ryan Giggs out of their team

Ronaldo will almost certainly be the best player to have ever played for united when you take the whole of his career into consideration. He was unreal for them for 2 seasons too. Has to be in.

Some people are probably looking at it from a partnership point of view. As in, Stam and Vidic are both aggressive types who attack the ball whereas Ferdinand is more of a sweeper/ball playing type so he complements one of them…

Zonal Marking did one yesterday, focused on partnerships and had Cole and Yorke up front.

Iknow ruud and ronaldo wouldn’t play together but it’s not a real team. I can’t believe i didn’t pick cantona.
van Nistelrooy must be the least decorated major Manchester United player of Ferguson’s tenure. 1 league title, 1 FA Cup, 1 League Cup. Fared poorly in Europe.
Completely forgot about Ronnie. :D. Hopefully he’ll be back at United before long, if the rumours are to be believed…
I’d stick him in ahead of Kanchelskis on the right wing.That '94 side was probably the best team of Fergie’s to watch - power, pace, guile and a tough set of cunts to boot

Cantona Van Nistelrooy.
He was a victim of the Djemba Djemba years. Amazing striker in fairness, carried the club for a few years. Played in front of the likes of Miller, Smith, Kleberson, Djemba twins and still scored a shedload. Still won his league title and did well with Mardid too.
Brilliant goal scorer but not a brilliant team player. the relative struggles of the team when he was in it arent all coincidence. Can’t believe he’s made almost every team picked here.
Wonder what fergusons team would be now if he picked it?
Mark Hughes has to be in Fergie’s best team for the amount of crucial goals he scored. He kept United in that FA Cup Final against Crystal Palace, scored that brilliant goal against Barcelona and came to their rescue in the 1994 FA Cup semi-final against Oldham. He was the main man who led their emergence from also-rans to the dominant force in England. Cantona had one great season in 95/96 but Hughes did it for longer. A brilliant player to watch and nobody has mastered the art of the volley like him since. He scored some absolute screamers - one in the 5-1 loss to City, the Oldham one as I said and a crucial one at Crystal Palace in a key game on the 92/93 run-in.

Agreed mates… Sparky was twice the player Horse face was.
You forgot that he was one of the best users of his arse in world football.
Hughes was absolute muck , was found out in Spain. He would be considered a journeyman in most leagues and it says it all about British football that this turnip isnt a laughing stock
Id go as far as to say Manchester didnt have one great player in the last 30 years

He never played for a Spanish team.

A little too much anger for a man spending most of his time in the green room.
He did - he played for Barcalona who are as Spanish as diego vasquez garcia from almeria
