Manchester United's team of the decade 

Attack

Luis Nani

Not quite world-class, but Nani had his days in a Manchester United shirt

Although the Portuguese never became the world-class player many fans thought he could be, Nani's tenure at Manchester United was a success. Winning two Premier League titles this decade wherein he was the starting winger, Nani was the Manchester United Players' Player of the Year in 2010–11. He also made the PFA Team of the Year in the same season.

The winger was not at his best after the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, but his three consistent years at the start of this decade are enough to place him on this list over the likes of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Wayne Rooney

Wayne Rooney is one of the best players to ever play for the Red Devils

After the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, Wayne Rooney and Manchester United had become synonymous with one another. Having won it all with the club, Rooney left the Red Devils after 13 years of outstanding service. He is the current all-time leading goalscorer for the club, and his contributions to all the trophies United have won this decade are of utmost importance.

This decade, he was elected PFA Players' Player of the Year in 2010 and has twice been voted onto the PFA Team of the Year. He was also chosen as the Premier League Player of the Season back in 2010 and made his way into the FIFA FIFPro World XI in 2011.

His overhead winner against Manchester City in 2011 is arguably the greatest goal in club history. All in all, Wayne Rooney is simply one of the best to ever play for Manchester United.

Robin van Persie

The best way to describe Van Persie's time at Old Trafford is short but explosive

Signed from rivals Arsenal in 2012, Sir Alex Ferguson spent £29 million on the then 29-year-old striker. One year later, Robin van Persie won the Golden Boot and was the star player as he helped the Red Devils secure their 20th league title.

Although his time at the club was short, van Persie scored 28 goals for the club post his historic run in 2013 and made an instant connection with the fans. It was sad to see how his stint ended at Old Trafford, but his performance that season will remain etched in the history of the club, and warrants him a place here.
