Alex Ferguson's greatest Manchester United XI
Posted Friday, November 04, 2011 by The Sun
MR DEPENDABLE ... Denis Irwin
LEFT-BACK: Denis Irwin (1990-2002)
IRWIN was United's very own Mr Dependable, both in defence and from the penalty spot.
Racking up 33 goals during his 11 and a half seasons at Old Trafford, the Irishman offered an assuredness down United's left-hand side despite being right-footed.
His greatest achievement, like many United players of the time, has to be the Treble-winning season in '99 and, on a personal note, he was named in the Premier League's Team of the Decade in 2003.
Signed from: Oldham for £625,000
Appearances: 529 Goals: 33
Trophies: Seven Premier League titles, three FA Cups, League Cup, Champions League, Cup Winners' Cup, Super Cup, Intercontinental Cup
