Over the last six weeks, more than 100,000 fans took part in polls
on ManUtd.com in an effort to name the Reds' best Premier League
XI.
Supporters were asked to cast their minds back over the previous 14
seasons and vote for their favourite United player in each
position... except left midfield, where Ryan Giggs was the only
sensible choice.
Our search did throw up a few surprises there's no room for
Ronaldo or van Nistelrooy but we're sure you'll agree this is a
formidable United side.
United Premier XI: Schmeichel; G.Neville, Stam, Ferdinand, Irwin;
Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs; Rooney, Cantona
The closest battles occurred in the centre of defence (with Jaap
Stam just edging out Nemanja Vidic as Rio's partner), on the right
side of midfield (where Cristiano Ronaldo pushed David Beckham
right to the hilt) and up front (where Cantona was the popular
choice but Ruud van Nistelrooy almost forced his way into the side
ahead of Wayne Rooney).
