If only we had Robbo or Roy Keane now; both leaders, legends and always gave their all for the club. Bryan Robson practically carried us for a decade.

Robbo won us 3 FA Cups [83-85-90]. If he had stayed fully fit & was free on injury Im certain we'd have picked up a League Title in the mid 80s. There was a nucleus of a good team but injuries & boozing let them down. Ten straight wins @ beginning of the 85 season on the back of one of those Cup triumphs should have been it. Within a year Big Ron was gone. Some Scottish bloke took his place. Wonder what happened then!!!

Robbo was surely the man that started the phrase box to box player. He was everywhere. Would have loved to see him at Highbury 😊

best United XI I've heard yet, I got to look up Tony Dunne

There would have been no Roy Keane without players like Bryan Robson and Stuart Pearce taking him under their wing as a young developing player.... 🇮🇪🤝🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good man Robo , great selection savage team pick, so many more to choose from as there was serious past players and of course yourself as you were one of the best midfielders that the UK have ever seen

That team had to include Bryan Robson….. he is THE reason I became a Manchester United fan in the first place! First player I’d pick every time. ❤

Its just recency bias and because of his onscreen persona. Keane was undisputably world class in his prime and anyone who said otherwise at the time would be laughed out of a debate. People who think otherwise werent around at the time or just being tribal. Box to box, brilliant passer of the ball, excellent all round technique and could score too. He has been rebranded as a sort of basic hardman these days which is a misrepresentation of his talents. I mean, he certainly was that too at times but that is nothing to do with his ability.

Love the team. On Rooney, can’t help but add that he became england and Manchester United’s highest scorer despite not being what you would call a traditional striker. And tbf fergie did play him all over.

Great team! Perfect blend of old and new. Most people pick from their own generation only. Though, it makes sense to prefer those you played with or against: you’ve witnessed first-hand their wizardry.

Bryan Robson, my hero for eternity, he's the reason I fell in love with United as a young kid in the 80's when all my mates were choosing Liverpool, since then I have been honoured to witness many great players pull on that red shirt, some of those players had even more talent than Robbo, but not one who had more determination, more desire, more pride, add that determination, desire and pride to his outstanding talent and you've got everything a Manchester United player should be, he was superb and how we miss his like today.

So if Duncan Edwards is in the best United team of all time at centre half - would you also say if he had lived then he would have taken Bobby Moores place in the England 66 world cup team ? this is a question I have often wondered about.

omg that would be some team

Whenever i hear people talking about Peter Schmeichel, i never hear them mention his distribution...that guy could throw the full length of the pitch. His distribution was insane at times.

Not often a 'greatest ever 11' includes the GOAT: Bestie himself. How anyone could string a team together without George Best is bewildering, but they do.

Robbo you are a legend

After Bryan named Bobby Charlton as his first central midfielder I thought he might say Roy Keane. As someone who grew up supporting United from the mid 90s Keane is in my top 3 United players of all time but I feel like Robbo is being a bit humble here. From everything I've heard he was every bit the Steven Gerrard of the 80's for United so he'd be my pick alongside Bobby Charlton - humility is a very admirable character trait though. I'm going to guess he'll have Giggsy at left wing even though that's not that much of a stretch of the imagination lol.

But for playing style, what were Manchester United winning until the unmentioned Cantona turn up. Can't believe Cantona wasn't mentioned. He made United win games.

@KryptonitetoallBS

Ай бұрын

It's not all one sided but Robson was a better all round player and leader. The reasons for that are that Gerrard was at his best as an attacking midfielder and even played in the number 10 role for Liverpool as the man just behind the striker. However if you take penalties out of his total, his goals scored were not much higher than Robson who played much of his later career as a holding midfielder. Robson surprisingly also outscored Gerrard for England scoring 26 goals in 90 games where Gerrard only scored 21 in 114 games! It's also important to recognise that Robson was a natural leader. All players improved by 10% when Robson was playing. Gerrard led by example the same as Robson, but he wasn't a talker and left that job to Carragher. For England Robson was loved by the fans because he gave his all and brought his club form to England. By his own admission Gerrard didn't bring his club form to England and when Captain presided over one of the worst periods in England's history at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when England were crushed by Germany in the first knock out round! Robson also won 2 Premier League Titles something which Gerrard never managed.
