All time greatest team of Manchester United

Attacking Midfielder cum playmaker: Sir Bobby Charlton

Sir Bobby Charlton remains the most influential player in the history of Manchester United. He joined the club in 1956 and spent 16 seasons with them. He won 3 First Division League titles and 1 European Cup with the club. Charlton amassed 758 caps for United and scored 249 goals in various competition and remained the highest goal-scorer in United's history until Wayne Rooney broke his record in 2017.

Charlton was a great passer and was quite adept at scoring goals apart from creating them. He formed the "United Trinity" with George Best and Denis Law, 2 other fellow greats of the club. He won the prestigious Ballon D'Or in 1966 and was also selected in the Premier League's team of the century in 2007.

Chartlon was Knighted in 1994 for his immense contribution to English football. He still continues to be a patron of the club and is often seen in the stands during crucial matches at Old Trafford.
