Left Back: Denis Irwin

Man United v Boro Denis Irwin
Denis Irwin

Denis Irwin joined United from Oldham Athletic in 1990 and became one of the finest players of the club. This Irish left-back was one of the reasons behind United’s rise to becoming one of the leading football clubs in the world.

He spent 12 years at United and collected 7 Premier League trophies and a Champions League title. Irwin played in 529 matches for United and contributed immensely toward United’s rise throughout the 90s.

Irwin made very few mistakes defensively, made overlapping runs quite often and performed well in big matches. All those qualities made him an indispensable member of the side and nobody has been able to properly replace him at United since he left in 2002, though Patrice Evra, another great player recruited by Sir Alex, came close.
