The famous quartet from the class of 1992 formed a great and very successful midfield for Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United in the 1990s and the early 2000s.

Keane was the quintessential midfield general, Scholes was a terrific passer, Giggs was an epitome of longevity and Beckham was brilliant with his crosses and set-pieces. They made United the best team in England and one of the best in the world with their consistent performances.

They won the Champions League in 1999 and 6 Premier League titles together. They also dominated English football for a decade with their excellent performances in the United midfield.

Both Keane and Beckham had a tiff with Ferguson and left the club in the space of two years from 2003 to 2005. However, both Giggs and Scholes ended their career at United only and won 13 and 11 Premier League titles for them, respectively.
