So we've got a new boss. We're 8th in the league, our worst start to a league in 24 years. Things have been pretty poor at Old Trafford. No, I'm not here saying Man Utd are now done, Moyes is not capable, we are doomed. Nah, because David Moyes is a very good football manager and he will get better as the season goes on. I am sure of it. We don't sack our managers like that, we are not Chelsea. Down and out? Down, sure. Never out.
I think back to the best of this club, all the wonderful players who have played for this club, some of the biggest reasons why I started supporting this great football club.
Here, I list my favorite Man Utd squad.
1. Goalkeeper : Edwin Van Der Sar.

Initially, I was quite torn. There were only two options, I'm afraid. Edwin Van Der Sar and Peter Schmeichel.
Schmeichel, the big bad Dane, voted the Best GK in the World (1992) was one of the most dominant keepers I've ever seen. Van Der Sar was also massive and was a tireless servant of the club and was largely successful. Also, Schmeichel played for Man City some time after he left us. Therefore, he is dead to me and Edwin Van Der Sar is my goalkeeper.
2. Right Back : Gary Neville!

No question here. Gary Neville! One of the club's loyals. Great attitude, solid in defense, great captain. Moving on..
3. Central Defenders : Rio Ferdinand and Jaap Stam.

Rio Ferdinand! The big badass centre back, when he joined us from Leeds was arguably the best in the world. Rock solid in defense,enthusiastic going forward and an all round great guy. In!
Jaap Stam! The strong Dutchman, in his three years at the club was a
very very strong defender. One of Sir Alex's deepest regrets is to
have let him go.
4. Left Back : Denis Irwin.

Very few were better than the Irishman. Could take the free kicks too. Bonus!
5. Central Midfield : Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.

Roy Keane would be my captain. Great footballer, not one to hide his feelings and an amazing captain. Always drove the team forward.
Paul Scholes! My favorite footballer! A magician with a football at feet. The crazy crosses, precision passing and a super powerful right foot. In!
6. Left Wing : Ryan Giggs.
WHO ELSE?
7. Right Wing : David Beckham/Cristiano Ronaldo.
OR
Really hard to split these two. Absolute legends for Utd on the right wing, both of them. The magic remains.
8. Forwards: Eric Cantona and Ruud Van Nistelrooy/Wayne Rooney.
