Default Heaviest/lightest United players in the modern era?

Bruce/Pally/Webb/Schmeichel?

Jesper Olsen?

Shit topic I know, but I'm genuinely curious.

Fletcher looks the skinniest, but he's surely much taller than Jesper Olsen was. Butt's a good shout, he's microbial.

Schmeichel 99 Kilograms... Over 15 1/2 stone

Dublin must have been close, with what he's packing

Giggs when he first came through was built like a twig. Of the current players, I reckon Park must be the lightest. Certainly plays like it anyway.

He didn't look too skinny when he took his shirt off last season.

Olsen was remarkably effective considering the physical era he played in and the fact he was made of balsa wood (single ply).

Rossi the lightest.

For some reason i remember seeing something about this in an old Fred Tissue. I remember Cantona was surprisingly heavy at one time.

Good shout. Too short though, Schmikes and Bosnich must have been heavier.

At one point he had the lowest percentage body fat in the whole squad...7%, remember reading an interview with Mike Lea (Pallister's nemesis).
