SIr Bobby is number one – what a player; what a gentleman; what a legend.

Next, Giggs/Best – Ryan has had awesome longevity and fabulous talent; Georgie was, alas, a candle-in-the-wind.

Then, Scholes, Cantons, Keane, and Robson.

No matter how good they are now – and they are really, really, really good -Ronaldo and Rooney both need years and years of quality performances before they can be considered in the top seven because the competition for inclusion is really awesome.

Ronaldo has the capacity to take the game by the scruff of the neck and create something out of nothing. I am gunner by heart…but he is head and shoulders above any ManU players I have seen. A Champion.

I do also believe Ronaldo, who I think is absolutely amazing DOES NOT showp at big games in Domestic football. Not to say he doesn’t have any mpact at all but you will find in all the big games he loses the ball a lot more, tries one too many step-overs and the like. Saying that, the reason I don’t moan about it is that evn if Ronny is having a bad game he is still likely to score “SPURS”.

what is with this ronaldo doesn’t show up in big games BS? what the hell do people want from him? to score a hat trick every game? he set up what should have been a goal against the dippers this season; he scored one, set the other up and set up one which giggsy should’ve converted against the arse this season. in previous seasons the boy used to have to run all alone with the ball from defence to attack so that the defence would get a breather. he performs brilliantly for portugal. he scored against milan, and played brilliantly against roma in both legs. he wins us games every fucking week, yet he is a bottler.
utter fucking rubbish.
but i agree with OMelhorDoMundo. it is premature to compare him with all time greats just yet. he needs to keep doing it for a few seasons, and win some more trophies to be truly considered among the all time greats.

p.s. i don’t know if swearing is allowed on here. apologies if it isn’t.

I haven’t seen Best play so I can’t really say but there was a similar situation with Ronaldinho and Pele. Before the 2006 World Cup when Ronaldinho was the undisputed best in the world, having won back to back league titles and the Champions League, people in Brazil were comparing him to Pele saying that if he won the World Cup, he will have been the best player since Pele. Now, nobody dares mention those two in the same breath. Not to say Cristiano will necessarily be like that but to be remembered as a true great, he must carry on doing this for the next few years not just two seasons. He’s only 22 so who knows, we might be seeing the best player since Best.

Cantona and pete schimeich for me. Ronny still loses the ball too much for my liking and he dives too much. He is a great player but i realise he is becoming too selfish. Maybe because i prefer wazza and didnt like how ronny always taking shots when a pass might have been better

Charlton. For not only what he did as a player but for what he still does now. He is as valuable to Manchester United now as ever and I personally have so much respect for that fact alone.

Too many great talents at United to mention, but honourable? Charlton pips that one. Ronaldo has a long way to go and is not as close as some of the others that fell short before they became TRUE United legends. Rooney will be, in 20 years time looked back on as a TRUE United player as he never want’s to leave, Ronaldo does, not that I blame him. I dread the time as I’m as big a fan of Ronny as anyone.

Cristiano Ronaldo for me, cause he has amazzing talent, no other like him. And, at the moment, he IS Manchester United! He scores in every game, man of the match every game, he doesnt lack anything to his game…except for not showing up in those BIG GAMES

Bobby charlton for me , most games most goals.

Best was a legend but for a brief period, if ronaldo stays for 10 years he could be the king.
