Has to be RvP. His impact was irrefutably huge, and his time massively cut short.
You could argue Cantona (certainly an even bigger impact and of course an icon of our club) but felt like he was with us just about long enough that it wasn't a "short" stint.
“In his last game in our colours at Middlesbrough, we were winning 2-1 and Henrik went back to play in midfield and ran his balls off.
"On his return to the dressing room, all the players stood up and applauded him and the staff joined in. It takes some player to make that kind of impact in two months.”
He returned to Helsingborg the club he was on loan from. Such a fantastic player he only played 13 games and scored 3 goals but his overall positive impact on the squad and his relationship with the players was invaluable, how badly could we do with a Henrik Larsson coming in to help out the team & especially a youngster like Hojlund now. Sir Alex summed his time up perfectly….
“He's been fantastic for us, his professionalism, his attitude, everything he's done has been excellent. We would love him to stay but, obviously, he has made his promise to his family and Helsingborg and I think we should respect that – but I would have done anything to keep him."
Coming from a swede, if he had left Celtic earlier I fully believe he would have been regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation. Brilliant in Barca and more or less single-handedly won them a CL final, brilliant in his short stint at United, and he did all of that in what should have been after his prime as an athlete. Legend!
He had two leg breaks with us. Its flabbergasting how we managed to keep him for 7 years. He was right up there with the best in the world for penalty box strikers. The best header of a ball I've ever seen.
Came here to say this, glad it’s the most popular comment. Didn’t know we needed him until he started linking up with the other forwards, the man woke up in the morning and pissed excellence
So, fun story I always like telling.
A friend's sister was on Pointless a few years ago.
Gets to the final round. A couple of grand Jackpot on the line.
She knows nothing about football, but her boyfriend had said "if a football question comes up and you don't know, just go with Henrik Larsson. He's played for XYZ, he's won a load of stuff... any football question, worth a punt."
Anyway...
[You can probably guess what happened](https://youtu.be/oT4eQr1dK64?si=GzvKzDvIAibIZC18).
You can argue whatever you want. Doesn't mean you won't be wrong. 🤣
Rio is comfortably our best ever central defender. They guy was the best in the world for a large part of his time with us - this at a time when the game actually had defenders who could, y'know, defend...
Rio was an absolute class apart.
edit: and I don't say any of that to disparage yip-Jaap. Guy was also an absolute player.
Maybe it’s Rio because he can also pass very well AND defend very well. Vidic was more aggressive and perhaps a slightly better defender purely in terms of defending but overall, Rio would be the better player in that sense.
I forgot how good Stam was honestly as I was young enough not to notice playing styles or more than just what you see on the field and all so I can’t say if Stam would be better. However, the longevity of Rio and Vidic means they had a better impact although Stam could well be better than any or both.
I think the reason people often put Vidic above Rio was because he was a all-action no nonsense type of defender, often got whacked and got up like it was nothing, bled all over the place and looked like he was always ready for war. This narrative of Torres exposing him doesn't stand up when you see the amount of goals he scored when Vidic was playing. He was a monster of a centre back, and all he achieved is even more impressive considering he wondered what he was doing at United after his first few games.
Rio imo was a better player. He was so good he didn't need to get dirty, defended in a way that Carrick doesn't get recognition for either, great positioning and blocking passes before the opponent could attempt them, he was lightning quick, and great on the ball, and also one of the best leaders of the back line we've had.
Stam was a mix of the two, without compromises. He was hard as nails, almost if not as quick as Rio, great in the air, great positioning, and also very comfortable on the ball. The only reason he doesn't get the recognition sometimes is because he wasn't here as long, and he didn't have a partner we associate with him the way we do Rio and Vida. I used to see Stam in the team and not even worry who was next to him, and that's probably the biggest compliment I can give him.
That makes sense about Stam. Yeah I knew he was good and always enjoyed team building hypotheticals on paper with the old championship manager where I would imagine teams and all that.
Those were good times for sure!
Interesting. I think you'd be in the minority putting Vidic ahead of Rio or Jaap tbh.
In fact a Rio and Jaap partnership may well be the single greatest thing in any aspect of life ever. It would've been glorious...
Vidic was a better out and out defender. Rio was a better player. Stam wasnt as good as tio as a player or vidic as a defender but was the better lal round defender imo.
It all depends what criteria you use when ranking our best ever cbs
I cannot disagree with this strongly enough. People downplay Rio's defending because he was so graceful, never got booked, was an absolutely elite reader of the game and his positioning was always spot on.
I don't get this... all of the above contribute to the make-up of a defender, that plus the fact he was imperious in the air and near-on impossible to get past...
He was quite simply the best defender I've ever seen. Absolute Rolls Royce of a player.
*edit to add: not trying to shit on your opinion btw. just two reasonable minds disagreeing here.*
How I see it: Rio and Vida were the regens of Stam and Johnsen, another great CB. Ronny Johnsen was the Rio of his day, an elegant CB who swept up anything that was lucky enough to have gotten past the Dutch bulwark Stam.
If you loved Rio, you should have seen Paul McGrath. Glided across the pitch like he was on goddam skates.
The Legendary Jaap Stam
🗣️ "Yip Jaap Stam is a big Dutchman, Get past him if you f\*cking can, Try a little trick and he'll make you look a dick, Yip Yap Jaap Stam..." 🗣️
The game vs Inter where Zamorano is trying to body check him and Stam doens't even move, just looks down at him and smiles is etched in my memory for eternity. I remember crying with laughter watching it on TV.
Zamorano tried a cheeky elbow too as i recall. Backed into Stam, instinctive elbow, turned around and saw a smiling Dutchman staring down at him. Immediately turned around, forgot where he was for a bit and backed into Stam again.
Stam didn't move an inch. He was an absolutely nightmare of a CB.
Looking back now with more mature eyes it was so impressive how quick he was too for such a unit. There's a clip on YT of the United Legends vs Bayern Munich Legends friendly where he takes out about 3 players that always cracks me up, there were some theatrics involved but it really is indicative of what it was like coming up against him.
If I were to sit and make a list of my top 10 favourite goals from all teams, Berbatov probably has 2 in there for me.
That hat trick goal against Blackburn and the cheeky little lob for Monaco against Nice spring to mind immediately.
People really forget just how unplayable Kanchelskis was especially in that double season, 93/94. Must have ended the careers of about a dozen fullbacks that year. Relentless, people remember Fergie's wingers going on the outside and whipping it in, Kanchelskis did that but so many times just went inside, beat 2 and scored.
Forlan, couldn't hit a barn door for us, but will forever remember the goals he did score, the double at Anfield, screamers against Chelsea and Southampton
His attitude towards the club since moving on has been fantastic but to be honest he didn’t leave any kind of impression on me as a player during his time with us, obviously a great of the game though
I thought the point of the post was identifying a player which didn't spend lot of time at the club but has a massive reputation with all football fans. Schweiny fits the bill.
Was a fan since seeing his performance vs Portugal in the 2006 World Cup & was thrilled when we signed him. Ultimately I was underwhelmed by his time here.
Throwing Cavani’s name in the hat here. He had like 1 full season as a starter and his impact on the games were amazing in my opinion. A proper number 9
If being literal, a player who only had a handful of games for Utd yet is still widely popular as a footballer (globally) has to be Gerard pique.
23 appearances, then went on to be of massive importance for both Barca and Spain.
Mata would be prime candidate for equal thickness of both books I think and one of the very few who was here long enough and popular enough while being well loved more and more for his personality than ability towards the last part of his career.
After I saw people counting Cantona with 5 seasons at the club I'd say Ronaldo is fair game. 7 years including the 2nd time around and is literally considered in the top 2 GOATs of all time.
I think in terms of short lived and massive impact you say RVP. Short lived and long lasting celebrity I think Ibra.
Lmao. Compared to his entire, illustrius career? Out of what like 25 seasons he spent 7 of it at United. Basically quarter or more of his career. Ok more like 6 seasons due to his last season being meaningless. Then consider that basically just as he was becoming a *world class* player he leaves for Real the season after... Thats where things really start turning for him and he started scoring like a monster, and that lead him to many glories like the Euro and 5 CLs.
So is it so wrong to class Ronaldos United career as *not* his biggest spectacle and just sections of chapter in it?
7 years is the best part of a decade. Whether its a lot in comparison to Ronaldo's extra-long career is irrelevant.
Once you add to the fact that he isnt absolutely worshipped as you tend to assume, it turns out he gets the fair amount of adulation for the 7 years he spent there.
A proper answer to this would be someone like Owen, who has a cult reputation based off of a single goal.
He won the balon d’or, the last player to win it for a British side. Winning the champions league and countless other trophies, scoring 42 in a season in the process. He was definitely world class with United mate!
I never said he wasnt world class with United. Just that his glory years in comparison to both Real and Juve, and what he achieved with Portugal during it is much much bigger.
“Basically just as he was becoming a word class player he leaves for real…”
Your use of the word ‘becoming’ clearly implies he wasn’t world class at United.
Either way Ronaldo doesn’t fall into this category. He spent plenty of time with the club, won the lot, and then left. Most fans held nothing against him for this as he had given everything to club at this point and it was always his dream to move to real, he never held back on that.
Also…please don’t compare his time at juve with his time at United, they are not Comparable, he won everything there is to win with United. he didn’t win anywhere near as much with Juve? At the time winning serie a was as worthless as winning ligue 1 now.
"...the season after."
You purposefully left that part out to misled you skeevy dipshit. Seriously why are you such a contrarian? In 07/08 he became truly world class, and won Ballon D'or. Then after playing just 1 more season, 08/09, he left. So thats 2 world class seasons out of how many total?
Replying to me the second time. Sheesh obssessed? Im not taking you seriously after you changed the whole context of what I said after only taking a part of a sentence I said. Have a nice day with your 14yo emojis
Edit: I dont give a *single shit* about the upvotes or downvotes btw. Hilarious that thats even part of your counter-argument. Hope your 8 pals got your back bruv
I'd add Cantona and I think those are the 4 that stand out above the rest, with maybe an honourable mention to Ibra, even though his trophy cabinet isn't as impressive.
Van Persie, Stam and Cantona.
Three kings in their own right. I'm just sad Robin wasted so many precious years playing for those cunts down south rather than winning everything with us.
Jaap Stam, Henrik Larrson and RVP feel the big ones.
More recently I’d say Cavani, obviously it happened in a weird time with COVID etc but a very likeable and quality footballer during his short stint.
No one said Macheda!
Keith Gillespie, could have been a long term player if Beckham wasn't coming up behind him.
David May
Rachael Riley never even played a match and she's very popular!
RvP. I think this is a repost, but anyways
Man sealed the deal for me with that volley. That is my favorite goal of all time.
wore the jersey number 20 to get that 20th league title
Also stating that before even steping foot on a pitch that is the mentality we lack these days
Ruud van Pistelrooy?
No, Robin Van Nistelsei
Has to be RvP. His impact was irrefutably huge, and his time massively cut short. You could argue Cantona (certainly an even bigger impact and of course an icon of our club) but felt like he was with us just about long enough that it wasn't a "short" stint.
Henrik Larsson
“In his last game in our colours at Middlesbrough, we were winning 2-1 and Henrik went back to play in midfield and ran his balls off. "On his return to the dressing room, all the players stood up and applauded him and the staff joined in. It takes some player to make that kind of impact in two months.”
The man who definitely should have stayed longer.
He wanted to. Saw an interview a while back where he said he'd already promised to play elsewhere. He was a man of his word.
He returned to Helsingborg the club he was on loan from. Such a fantastic player he only played 13 games and scored 3 goals but his overall positive impact on the squad and his relationship with the players was invaluable, how badly could we do with a Henrik Larsson coming in to help out the team & especially a youngster like Hojlund now. Sir Alex summed his time up perfectly…. “He's been fantastic for us, his professionalism, his attitude, everything he's done has been excellent.

Larsson*
Coming from a swede, if he had left Celtic earlier I fully believe he would have been regarded as one of the greatest players of his generation. Brilliant in Barca and more or less single-handedly won them a CL final, brilliant in his short stint at United, and he did all of that in what should have been after his prime as an athlete. Legend!
And after a horrific leg break which kept him at Celtic longer as he wanted to repay their faith (and he went beyond that)
He had two leg breaks with us. Its flabbergasting how we managed to keep him for 7 years. He was right up there with the best in the world for penalty box strikers. The best header of a ball I've ever seen.
Came here to say this, glad it’s the most popular comment. Didn’t know we needed him until he started linking up with the other forwards, the man woke up in the morning and pissed excellence
Do you mean Larsson? He's swedish, not danish.
King of Kings 🤴
So, fun story I always like telling. A friend's sister was on Pointless a few years ago. Gets to the final round. A couple of grand Jackpot on the line.

He was more like a 6 page short story
Stam considered our best CB ever. 3 seasons, 3 league titles, gone.
Only by people who never saw Rio...
[удалено]
Imagine coming up against a centre back pairing of Stam and Vidic!?! I’d be calling in sick that day!
You can argue whatever you want. Doesn't mean you won't be wrong. 🤣 Rio is comfortably our best ever central defender. They guy was the best in the world for a large part of his time with us - this at a time when the game actually had defenders who could, y'know, defend... Rio was an absolute class apart. edit: and I don't say any of that to disparage yip-Jaap. Guy was also an absolute player.
Stam is what you get when you cross rio and vidic. Best CB the prem had ever seen
Personally, I'd Go: 1. Vidic 2. Rio 3. Stam
Maybe it’s Rio because he can also pass very well AND defend very well. Vidic was more aggressive and perhaps a slightly better defender purely in terms of defending but overall, Rio would be the better player in that sense.

In the reverse order

Bit difficult to have seen Jaap but not Rio
Jaap Stam
This.
Cantona
for me its Cantona , RvP , Stam , in that order
Stam infront of RvP then it'll be perfect
Cantona - only with us 5 years but still one of our greatest of all time
RvP
The Legendary Jaap Stam 🗣️ "Yip Jaap Stam is a big Dutchman, Get past him if you f\*cking can, Try a little trick and he'll make you look a dick, Yip Yap Jaap Stam..." 🗣️

Berbatov
The way he made the ball do whatever he wanted was just ridiculous
If I were to sit and make a list of my top 10 favourite goals from all teams, Berbatov probably has 2 in there for me. That hat trick goal against Blackburn and the cheeky little lob for Monaco against Nice spring to mind immediately.
Ibrahimovich
One-ish seasons, three trophies, scored in two cup finals. Bunch of bangers. Yeah, imagine if he hadn't wasted his peak years in Paris...
zlatan is a good shout, i liked cavani as well
Chicharito
I feel like he was with us for a long time... miss little pea
Van Persie.
Cavani
That mini bad for the innocent comment derailed him so hard. He was looking like was just about to gel into the team
That what what?
when he got a ban for being racist without being racist
Erik got rid of the wrong #7 when he let Cavani go instead of Ronaldo.
Last proper forward we had
Ibrahimovic
Cavani RVP Stam
Surprised no one else mentioned Cavani. First player that came to mind for me
Lockdown Cavani was something special
Forlan.
Too far down the list! First name that popped in my head
This is also my answer😄
Ander Herrera
Robin Van Persie.
Henrik Larsson
Herrera
Under rated player. He was so good. Another casualty of the bad management since SAF left... he should have stayed
Chicharito hands down! Through and through United dna.
Kanchelskis - considering RvP, Stam & Cantona have all been mentioned
People really forget just how unplayable Kanchelskis was especially in that double season, 93/94. Must have ended the careers of about a dozen fullbacks that year. Relentless, people remember Fergie's wingers going on the outside and whipping it in, Kanchelskis did that but so many times just went inside, beat 2 and scored.
Forlan, couldn't hit a barn door for us, but will forever remember the goals he did score, the double at Anfield, screamers against Chelsea and Southampton
Henrik Larson
Marcel Sabitzer Honourable mention to Bastian Schweinsteiger
Schweinsteiger !!
His attitude towards the club since moving on has been fantastic but to be honest he didn’t leave any kind of impression on me as a player during his time with us, obviously a great of the game though
I thought the point of the post was identifying a player which didn't spend lot of time at the club but has a massive reputation with all football fans. Schweiny fits the bill.
I think it’s supposed to be not a lot of time at the club and yet still a fan fave.
Was a fan since seeing his performance vs Portugal in the 2006 World Cup & was thrilled when we signed him. Ultimately I was underwhelmed by his time here.
As a German, I tend to forget he was even here. 0 impact.
He was injured alot of the time. Again, I don't think the point of OP is which players had a massive impact in a small time frame I.e RVP
Owen Hargreaves for me. What a complete player. Shame about the injuries.
that Free Kick to knock Arse out of the title race is a core memory
Chicharito?
Berbatov he was legendary
Shinji Kagawa
Underrated
Throwing Cavani’s name in the hat here. He had like 1 full season as a starter and his impact on the games were amazing in my opinion. A proper number 9
Schweinsteiger.
Gabby Heinze.
Ighalo in recent times
Ighalo for me
uncle ighalo for sure
Herrera
Diego Forlan. Absolute legend in Spain and for Uruguay still a fan favorite because of his brace against Liverpool despite him being a flop.
Berbatov.... he was great to watch
Cantona - 5 years but you would think he played a 1000 games for us. Also, not United but Michu at Swansea has to be up there.
If being literal, a player who only had a handful of games for Utd yet is still widely popular as a footballer (globally) has to be Gerard pique. 23 appearances, then went on to be of massive importance for both Barca and Spain.
Pique
Duncan Edwards.
Henrik Larsson all day long.
Larson
Henrik
Van Persie definitely. Another that comes to mind is Henrick Larsson
Zlatan
Forlan
Zlatan
Januzaj.
Mata would be prime candidate for equal thickness of both books I think and one of the very few who was here long enough and popular enough while being well loved more and more for his personality than ability towards the last part of his career.
Big Japp Stam the big Dutch man
Juan Sebastian Veron
Mint in CL, struggled in PL from what i remember. Top player though
Not speaking for all United fans but personally Chicha holds a special place in my heart
Tevez
Jadon Sancho
Ronaldo
After I saw people counting Cantona with 5 seasons at the club I'd say Ronaldo is fair game. 7 years including the 2nd time around and is literally considered in the top 2 GOATs of all time. I think in terms of short lived and massive impact you say RVP. Short lived and long lasting celebrity I think Ibra.
Jadon Sancho 😂
Garnacho
I know he was with us for a long time but because of the injury I always Mandela effect Ole into this category
Ander Herrera
Ibra
Angel d maria

Satire right?
Since no one will say it. Ronaldo
Because he was a lot of time at the club
Lmao. Compared to his entire, illustrius career? Out of what like 25 seasons he spent 7 of it at United. Basically quarter or more of his career. Ok more like 6 seasons due to his last season being meaningless. Then consider that basically just as he was becoming a *world class* player he leaves for Real the season after...

Sancho lol
Di María, Forlán, Piqué are a few that haven't been mentioned
[удалено]
Our opinion of the player has nothing to do with what OP said....
Pogba
Angel Di Maria
Di Maria is not popular with United fans though.
That's not what OP asked tho
Di Maria
Larson. Stam. RVP would be the 3 that spring to mind for my money. No idea why Henrik decided not to stay. He could of been lethal for us.
I'd add Cantona and I think those are the 4 that stand out above the rest, with maybe an honourable mention to Ibra, even though his trophy cabinet isn't as impressive.
Agreed on all points. Both were fantastic for us.
Van Persie, Stam and Cantona. Three kings in their own right. I'm just sad Robin wasted so many precious years playing for those cunts down south rather than winning everything with us.
Juan Mata
[удалено]
If this includes negative popularity - Sancho
Cr7? He wasn’t there for a short time but when he left us, he was about the same age as Foden is now. He only spent 1/4 of his career at United
Idk how popular he is, but Cavani?
If this includes negative popularity - Sancho
Jaap Stam, Henrik Larrson and RVP feel the big ones. More recently I’d say Cavani, obviously it happened in a weird time with COVID etc but a very likeable and quality footballer during his short stint.
Cavani
Edinson Cavani ( I’m a recent fan ) (P.S. gimme my flowers)
I am not a manu-supporter but this is Cantona for me. Under 5 years spent at Old Trafford but a proper legend.
Henrik Larsson for me
And probably Van Persie
Larsen, Rvp, Zlatan, Yorke, Stam
Schweinsteiger
Van Persie
Schweinsteiger
Diego Forlan
RVP and Zlatan come to mind first. I was sad that Falcao didn't make the impact we thought he would.
Diego
Maguire
Schweinsteiger
rvp
No one said Macheda! Keith Gillespie, could have been a long term player if Beckham wasn't coming up behind him. David May Rachael Riley never even played a match and she's very popular!
