Sir Alex Ferguson has named the six 'world-class' players who have played at Manchester United during his 20-year spell.
Ferguson named Eric Cantona, Peter Schmeichel, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Roy Keane and Wayne Rooney, and made a case for Cristiano Ronaldo being the next to join that list.
Players like David Beckham, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jaap Stam and Bryan Robson were conspicuous by their absence.
"In my time I've been blessed with several world-class players. Peter Schmeichel was certainly one, and Ryan Giggs for me, definitely," said Ferguson.
"Eric Cantona could have been even better, but for the parts of him you had to control.
"Wayne Rooney, that's four. Then there's Roy Keane, that's five.
"And I think Cristiano Ronaldo is going to be. He's playing in the hardest position, out wide, and never refuses to take the ball and attack players.
"And there's an argument for Paul Scholes, the cleverest midfield player we've ever had.
"To work with such people has been an absolute pleasure. It's fulfilled every aspiration." -
why never name any defender???

Actually Fergie never mention that beck is not world class i think... He just mentioned those he thought was during his time... But the press still want to bring up David Beckham... I guess he makes good headlines for the press...
Fergie didn't mention Ruud van Nistelrooy, Jaap Stam and Bryan Robson also what... But the press didn't use them as headline news...
I guess the name Beckham still makes headline news...
