#3 Sir Bobby Charlton
Sir Bobby Charlton. England's greatest player. One of the survivors of English football's worst tragedies - Manchester United's tragic Munich air disaster.
To have overcome tragedy and yet embrace enormous success is what has defined his prime years in the game. Charlton was the top scorer for the Three Lions, as well as for Manchester United with an extraordinary 249 goals, a record only surpassed in the modern era by another club legend, Wayne Rooney.
A World Cup winner for England in 1966, a three-time English champion with Manchester United (1957, 1965, 1967), winner of the European Cup in the 1967/68 season and recipient of the Ballon D'or.
Sir Bobby Charlton, with his accolades and experiences, has truly reserved a place in the history books of Manchester United as one of the greatest of all time.
#2 George Best
"Going on up to the spirits in the sky,
It's where I wanna go when I die,
When I die and you lay me to rest,
I wanna go on the p*** with Georgie Best...!"
A chant that is still heard in Manchester United's games, sung by the faithful from the heights of the Stretford End.
"George Best was an unbelievably gifted player with a kind of quality and control that was unparalleled." - Sir Bobby Charlton
A two-time English champion in 1965 and 1967, a European Cup winner in the 1967/68 season and a recipient of the Ballon D'or in 1968.
George Best, the pride of Northern Ireland, is among the three greatest players in their history to form Manchester United's Holy Trinity at Old Trafford.
#1 Cristiano Ronaldo
"Viva Ronaldo,
Viva Ronaldo,
Running down the wing,
Hear United sing,
Viva Ronaldo..."
A name that has gone on to define football in the modern era. A legend who has won everything there is to win across the world. Cristiano Ronaldo is possibly the greatest player ever to take the field for Manchester United.
Ronaldo is a five-time Ballon D'Or winner, three-time English champion across the 2007, 2008 and 2009 seasons and a Champions League winner for Manchester United in the 07/08 season, with many more continental titles.
Cristiano Ronaldo is finally back home after his travels abroad, having signed a deal that brings him back to the club where it all started for him. Hungrier than ever to get back to winning ways. Manchester United will be hoping for his legacy to grow further as he embarks on a mission to cement his status as the greatest ever to don the red of Manchester.
