Over the last six weeks, more than 100,000 fans took part in polls on ManUtd.com in an effort to name the Reds' best Premier League XI. Supporters were asked to cast their minds back over the previous 14 seasons and vote for their favourite United player in each position... except left midfield, where Ryan Giggs was the only sensible choice.
Our search did throw up a few surprises – there's no room for Ronaldo or van Nistelrooy – but we're sure you'll agree this is a formidable United side.
United Premier XI: Schmeichel; G.Neville, Stam, Ferdinand, Irwin; Beckham, Keane, Scholes, Giggs; Rooney, Cantona
The closest battles occurred in the centre of defence (with Jaap Stam just edging out Nemanja Vidic as Rio's partner), on the right side of midfield (where Cristiano Ronaldo pushed David Beckham right to the hilt) and up front (where Eric Cantona was the popular choice but Ruud van Nistelrooy almost forced his way into the side ahead of Wayne Rooney).
Of course, 11 great players doesn't necessarily equate to a great team. Would Cantona and Rooney really gel alongside each other? Would Ferdinand and Stam prove an effective combination at the heart of the defence? What do you think?

在过去两个星期里，10万多名曼联球迷参加了红魔官网组织的“英超史上最佳11人”票选活动。球迷们将思绪带回过往14个年头，然后在每个位置投出他们心中的一票(注：左前卫候选只有吉格斯)。
目前投票已经截止，曼联英超史上最佳11人为：
门将：舒梅切尔
后卫：内维尔、斯塔姆、费迪南德、埃尔文
前卫：贝克汉姆、斯科尔斯、基恩、吉格斯
前锋：鲁尼、坎通纳
官网文章称名单中有“少量的意外，C罗和范尼没能入选，不过我们肯定这支 曼联已经足够强大，你一定也同意这个说法。”
据悉三个位置“发生”了激烈的争夺，中后卫斯塔姆险胜维迪奇，成为费迪南德的搭档，右前卫则是红魔两代偶像7号之间的争夺，最后贝克汉姆赢了，前锋位置上坎通纳的地位无可撼动，范尼跟鲁尼的竞争很激烈。
