To mark the Scottish manager collecting yet another Premier League title, here is our best XI comprised of talents who have represented the Old Trafford side during his time in charge.
Check in to Arsenal vs Manchester United
Peter Schmeichel
Dane gets in with very little competition, Edwin van der Sar apart, and is player who galvanized his defence expertly and rarely made a mistake during his eighth seasons at the club.
Denis Irwin
One of the most consistent, understated, and able performers to have ever pulled on a United shirt. Made over 500 appearances for Man United and is the left-back in our XI.
Jaap Stam
A player who Sir Alex Ferguson has admitted is one he wishes he had not offloaded, the Dutch man mountain is the best centre-back Man United have had during the Scot’s time in charge.
Rio Ferdinand
34 year old defender has played his way into this eleven after 11 seasons of sterling service. Is still an important member of Ferguson’s squad and may well be set for a contract extension despite his advancing years.
Gary Neville
The Sky analyst always put in a 100% committed performance during his 19 season run in the Man United first team. Racked up over 600 appearances for the club, one of Fergie’s original ‘Fledglings’.
