for, one reason or another, having star names does not necessarily
mean they can play in tandem and churn out better
results/performances than the illustrious Man Utd sides of
yesteryears. But for me, this is [b]the Greatest Man Utd
side I've ever had the privilege of watching :
Peter Schmeichel
Paul Parker
Denis Irwin
Steve Bruce(C)
Gary Pallister
Ryan Giggs
Paul Ince
Roy Keane
Andrei Kanchelskis
Eric Cantona
Mark Hughes
The side hails from the 93/94 season and fitness/suspension
permitting, was Fergie's automatic first 11(yeah, in those days,
squad rotation were unheard of!) - for both quality and
entertainment, no other United side has come close prior to that or
since(not even the '99 Treble-winning side - regardless of which 11
you want to pick - IMO). Just a pity that side in 93/94 never got
to compete as a team in Europe because of the now-defunct
3-foreigner restriction...

ya man!!! that was probably the best Man Utd team that i've ever
watched too.
Peter Schmeichel - rated the best keeper in the whole after his
Danish side won the Euro championship, who constantly shout at his
mates to keep them on their toes.
Paul Parker
Denis Irwin - both no nonsenses player, nothing fancy but still get
work done everytime, every game.
Steve Bruce(C) - alittle overweight defender who would be like
Schmeichel, constantly shouting at his mates to buck up, but just
abit sad that he wasn't being called up to represent England.
Gary Pallister - a quiet guy who would received lots of shouting
from Bruce, but yet will covers Bruce backside time and again
without fail.
Ryan Giggs - Need to introduction.. one of his most well known
adverts for Nike, with him flicking the ball from behind his heel
and the header reads "Watch the Devil rise from Hell" and Nike
warning him that their endorsmment for his is also subjected that
he dun cut his hair.
Paul Ince - always wear this shirt just right before he enter the
field is one of his trademark.
Roy Keane - both Keane and Ince will cover every blade of the grass
in any football match they played in and may even be willing to die
on the field to save Man Utd from losing.
Andrei Kanchelskis - this guy is super fast, almost all counter
attack start from either Giggs or Kanchelskis, Schmeichel with his
trademark long throw will usually find him who will then bring the
ball to the bye line and cross to the central for either Giggs or
Hughes or Cantona to knock home, scorer of some pretty good and
important goals for Man Utd too.. but was sold away due to that
stupid 3-foreigner rule.
Mark Hughes - one of the best thinking striker after Ian Rush..
might not be the fastest striker ard but will still get the work
done.
Eric Cantona - he is too god like to be discussed in a forum...so
i'll let you guys just think abt what this Man Utd legendary Capt
can do.
sub.
Lee Sharpe - one of the most expensive youth team player SAF ever
brought, was a wonder boy type of player but due to drinking and
gamble he can't find back his form and was sold away, a typical
wasted talent. (Maybe it was because of him that SAF started taking
extra care and protection over his young players protecting them
from media..etc.. hence the Giggs, Becks,...was able to mature to
what they are today)
Keith Gixxxxxxx - was a pretty decent right winger who was sold to
Newcastle in the part exchange with Andy Cole, but again, maybe was
without the fatherly advise from SAF, was wasted in Newcastle and
was again sold to Blackburn, had a couple of good games but
couldn't keep hold the same performance day in day out.
Brain Mclair - old but experinced Scotland striker whom SAF brought
along with him when he newly came into Man Utd..
sorry for being a bored, just can't stop talking abt the good old
days....
Cheers everyone in Manchester United and fans of the Red
Devilllllllllll..............
