Ronaldo yes. Bryan Robson (Capt Marvel) and definitely Eric Cantona. Cantona was a legend, and could change game

SAF is one of the greatest MU managers ever !...but his comments & views are sometimes quite controversial & are purely his own views...For me I tink its Ronaldo, Cantona & B. Robson......Hope tis helps bro escobar43535...

To me all 6 players are fantastic players during their time with the club..of course each has their strengths which I don't think it is fair to say one is better than the other. SAF saying these probably to get attention, guess he miss the good old days where he get all the media attention.

I tend to agree with the both you. Think Fergie may be biased against Robson because he did not originally sign him and may be he was abit peeved with Cantona for retiring too soon perhaps? Personally I would also include Keane, again think Fergie biased against him for obvious reasons.

my humble 2 cents :

robson was already on the slide down when fergie turned to his fledgings of giggs, scholes, beckham, the neville bros and butt to form the spine of his title winning team in the early 90s. so not surprised that he named scholes and giggs as 2 of the 3 best players he worked with.

SAF obviously counts loyalty (to him) as a major factor in his decision. thereby excluding keane (and beckham) in the top 3.

king cantona was definitely the game-changer. he was the final piece of jigsaw to the team which brought the title back to United. but as a bro mentioned earlier, his early retirement may have cost him some brownie points in SAF's eyes.

ronaldo. signed by SAF. groomed by him and is a multi-time winner of the ballon d'or. enough said.

luckily pool also screw up against hull city. still 7 pts ahead with 4 games to go.

chelski has literally got the title sewn up with their win at leicester last night. so the "fight" is on for 2nd place between city, arsenal and hopefully united.

They are slow.....just look at Everton....their break away counter is lightning speed. McNair , Smalling caught off guard.
United players get the ball....stroke around.....n thats that.
Tim Howard hardly tested.
A match Everton fully deserved to win.

Hull City really did us a big favor.

Next up against WBA.....Hope the boys wake up n put on a good show in front of their home fans.

Sigh...dun tink now LVG & his star-studded 150 pds team of boys are gonna make it to Champions League next season...losing to a mid-table team like WBA...0-1...last nite...

Our arch-rival Pool is now almost rite behind them (with their win over QPR) & they hv to face at least 2 more teams of big boys in the remaining few matches...How come they suddenly fall back & apart so badly again ??..the worst performance was the last match against another team of boys in blue, Everton, when they were thrashed 3-0 ..issit cos there were one or 2 ex-evertonians players in the Devils team tat they had no motivation to win the match against their former team or issit their ex-teamates made it very difficult for them..Oh wat a shame...wats the use of possession football when you can't even put the ball into the net at least once....in the last 3 games of back-to-back defeats, they din even put in 1 goal into the opposition net...RVP cant even score the penalty last nite ...tis is definitely not a sign of championship material imho...sigh

I already had a bad feeling following Carrick's knock way back during the City match - see my comment immediately following the match. He brings stability to the middle of the park, can thread that killer pass as well as knows how to protect his defence. He also frees up Rooney to wreak havoc up front. Rooney may not score every match but his mere presence unsettles opposition defences and his team mates can capitalise. Without Carrick the team loses out in every area of the pitch. The stats are telling - MU averages 1.3pts (prob less now with the 3 straight losses) when Carrick's not playing, 2.3 when he is playing. Hope we can sign a reliable, less injury-prone successor in the summer.

JiBye lah this LVG...

Eden Hazard of Chelsea oso missed a penalty ytd...but like SG of Pool, the 2 of them went on to score a goal each later on in their respective games !...but not RVP...sigh...omg !..why hv ladyluck deserted Red Devils again when she is needed most at tis end of the season

Their last 3 games is against the Gunners, Crystal Palace & Hull b4 curtains down...chances are if they continue to play tis way w/o Carrick, they will end up losing all the 3 games as well...Crystal Palace under Alan Pardew & Hull under Steve Bruce (former United boy) are no pushovers...if so, it can be 6 back-to-back defeats, the most unpleasant record for the Red Devils ever in their history...tat oso means effectively the players hv closed shop for tis season & are taking their holiday in advance, Lols...

Lets hope & pray, tis won't be the case...tat they will all suddenly wake up on the pitch & come to their senses & pride of wearing the red jersey shirt of a Red Devil..tat they hv to play to win, hv the guts & determination to succeed like their predecessors in past glorious teams, despite all obstacles put in their way & finding a way thru' to teams "parking their bus" in front of goal, a thing which shd not be new to professional footballers & their managers

[FunnyHippo]

LVG is fed up with MU squad especially with Di Maria.
JiBye... 60m player play like 6m player.
I think MU will qualify for the CL.

Tiagong the TV revenue for CL has increased.
Once MU qualify for the CL... Time to bring CR7 home!

Memphis Depay: Manchester United sign Dutch forward

Tiagong next season we win liao lor...

IIRC they just went back to their original possession play initially under LVG.
Once reach the 20 yard line....suddenly foot off the pedal and start stroking the ball up n down.
Let the opponents have a chance to regroup n anticipate any attack.
Any team in EPL who plays like that definitely will lose.

You need to RUN at the defenders!!!
Go in....pull them out of positions!!!

I have been watching Man U play since Robson days...and they dont play this kind of style.
The Man U I watched who is always winning matches dun play this kind of possession stroke ball style.
