Manchester United’s Best Premier League Team

With Manchester United on track for their lowest Premier League finish in the first season since Alex Ferguson’s retirement, Janes Jerseys takes a look at what we consider to be Manchester United’s best team since the formation of the Premier League.

Peter Schmeichel (1991-1999)

Peter Schmeichel is arguably the best goalkeeper in Manchester United history and one of the best goalkeepers the world has ever seen.

Schmeichel joined Bronby’s club for the bargain price of £505,000 in the summer of 1991 and made his Manchester United debut in a 2–0 win over Notts County.

With Paul Parker out injured, Gary Neville became the team’s first-choice right-back, a position he held until his retirement in 2011.

After Roy Keane’s departure in November 2005, Neville was appointed club captain.

Neville went on to make 602 appearances for the club scoring 7 goals, winning 8 Premier League titles, 3 FA Cups, 2 League Cups and 2 European Champions League trophies.

Dennis Irwin (1990-2002)

Denis Irwin was one of the most reliable and consistent artists of his generation, though he is often underestimated.

Irwin joined the Oldham side in the summer of 1990 in a £625,000 move from Oldham Athletic, making his debut against Coventry City on 25 August 1990.

In his first season with the club, Irwin helped the club win the European Cup Winners’ Cup, defeating Barcelona in the final.

Stam was voted UEFA Club Defender of the Year in 1998-99 and 1999-00.

Rio Ferdinand is one of the greatest football half-players of a generation and arguably England’s most accomplished defender since the legendary Bobby Moore.

Ferdinand joined the club for a British record transfer fee of £30 million and remains the most expensive English footballer in history and the most expensive defender in world football.

Rio made his debut for the team on August 27, 2002 in a Champions League qualifying match against Zalaagerszeg which Manchester United won 5–0.

Ferdinand helped Manchester United win the Premier League in his first season at the club playing in 28 league games.

Rio captained Manchester United to their memorable Champions League final penalty shootout victory against Chelsea.

Ferdinand appeared in the FIFA World XI for the 2007-08 season.

Ryan Giggs (1990-present)

Cristiano Ronaldo (2003-2009)

Cristiano Ronaldo often referred to him as a show pony in his early years with his countless gaits that looked great but weren’t particularly productive.

During his time at the club, under Ferguson, Ronaldo channeled his undoubted ability to become one of the best players in the world.

Ronaldo joined the team from Sporting Lisbon for £12.2m after impressing Alex Ferguson while playing in a friendly against Manchester United.

Ronaldo made his debut as a substitute on 08/16/03 in a 4-0 win over Bolton and scored his first goal in a 3-0 win over Portsmouth.

Ronaldo won three Premier League titles, an FA Cup, two League Cups and a Champions League trophy with Manchester United before leaving for Real Madrid for a world-record transfer fee of £80m.

Roy Keane (1993-2005)

Roy Keane was a commanding, tough-tackling and highly competitive central midfielder who epitomized the spirit of Manchester United under Alex Ferguson.

Keane joined the club in the summer of 1993 signing from Nottingham Forest for £3.75 million and making his debut against Aston Villa on 23 August in a 2–1 win for Aston Villa.

Keane left the club on 15 December 2005 to sign for boyhood club Celtic.

Paul Scholes (1993-2011 and 2012-2013)

Paul Scholes is the latest member of the “Class of ’92” to make our best Manchester United Premier League team.

Scholes was arguably the best attacking midfielder of his generation, although he was occasionally disappointed by his ability to miss a tackle which saw him pick up over 120 yellow cards and 10 red cards and miss out on the Champions League final in 1999 by sanction.

Scholes made his debut for the club on 21 September 1994 scoring both goals in a 2–1 league cup win over Port Vale.

During his first season as a first-team player, Scholes helped the team finish second in the Premier League and reach the FA Cup Final, where they lost to Everton 1–0.

In his first season, Cantona helped the team to their first league title in 26 years, as they won the Premier League and finished 10 points clear of Manchester United.

The incident saw Cantona banned from football for eight months and many argue that it cost Manchester United the league title.

Following the departure of Steve Bruce, Cantona was given the captain’s armband at the start of the 1996-97 campaign in which Manchester United won their fourth title in five years.

During his time at Manchester United, Cantona made 185 appearances scoring 82 goals and winning four Premier League titles and two FA Cups.

Ruud van Nistelrooy (2001-2006)

Last in the team is Ruud van Nistelrooy, arguably the most clinical finisher to have played for the Premier League side.

Van Nistelrooy signed for the club in the summer of 2001 from PSV Eindhoven for £19 million and made his debut in a 2–1 Charity Shield loss against Liverpool.

In his first season with the club, Van Nistelrooy scored 23 league goals (including scoring in 8 consecutive games to set a record which he later broke) and 36 goals in all competitions.
