Fat Ronaldo, couldn't agree more.
Van Basten, all day!
Baresi, Robbo and Baresi can you imagine?
Guardiola, class!

Torres, Essien, Xavi, Gattuso,

Bergkamp, never ever ever ever ever ever!

Paulo di Canio

One player who I could always visualise at United was Alex Del Piero. He has the technique, class and ability to the unexpected that United fans love, but also the spirit, loyalty and professionalism of a United player. Would have been a legend I think, without doubt.

Batistuta is another. The ability to score spectacular goals of every variety in the blink of an eye, the strength and explosiveness, the fight, the personality, the hair... A United player in every respect.

this is important

Rivaldo was a complete @#%&!.

Collymore and Del Piero are excellent shouts. Gascoigne a more obvious one but similarly good.

Collymore would have been unstoppable at United.

Roberto Baggio.

and i still go with Andreas Moeller! everyday of the week!

Marco van Basten, Redondo, Hagi, Stoichkov, Batistuta, 1996 era Del Piero before his old man died & he got a bit depressed, Buffon, Gazza... from relatively modern times.

But Garrincha, for all time players... piss head, womaniser, exquisite footballer by all accounts & Brazilian.

Think it would have been Bestie-esque had we had him.

Imagine him and a young Best in the same team

Del Piero and Ronaldo.
