Alex Ferguson's greatest Manchester United XI

THE ONE AND ONLY ... Eric Cantona

STRIKER: Eric Cantona (1992-1997)

CANTONA only spent five seasons at United but such was his impact on English football, he simply has to make Ferguson's greatest XI.

Pinched from Leeds for £1.2million, Cantona became an instant hit with the Old Trafford faithful, leading the team to the first ever Premier League and United's first league title since 1967.

The lasting image of Cantona was his brilliant (bordering on arrogant), collar-up celebration after scoring a wondergoal against Sunderland – you wonder if he regrets calling it a day aged 30.

Signed from: Leeds for £1.2m

Appearances: 185 Goals: 82

Trophies: Four Premier League titles, two FA Cups
