Cristiano Ronaldo made a name for himself at Manchester United

Portugal captain Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the greatest exports to come out of United. In his best season, Ronaldo scored a whopping 42 goals for the Red Devils.

As a winger, he has the speed to get past players with ease and distribute the ball to the forwards. He also has the height and leap for set-pieces and can score in a variety of ways.

These include; headed goals, left foot, right foot and some other inexplicable ways from set-pieces.

He scored 118 goals for United and developed from a hot prospect drawn from Portugal to be an elite footballer that bewildered the world and even won a Ballon d'Or at United.

Ryan Giggs is the most decorated player in United's history with 34 trophies in all competitions. He made 963 appearances and scored 168 goals in all competitions.

It is only befitting that Giggs takes up his favourite wing position. In his prime, Giggs was a speedy and trick-happy winger who could torment defenders.

He also had a wicked left foot that could drill in crosses and free kicks to create goal scoring chances.
