Bryan Robson - The longest serving Captain in United

Then Manchester United Manager, Ron Atkinson made signing his former charge, Bryan Robson, his number one priority when he took the reigns as United boss.

Robson cost a then British record transfer fee of £1.5 million but more than repaid that cost as he played for United for the next 13 years as Captain of the club, becoming the longest serving Captain in club history.

Robson lifted the FA Cup in 1983 and 1985 before obtaining his greatest success at United under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson, claiming another FA Cup win in 1990, before securing the 1991 Cup Winners Cup and ending United's 26 year wait for a League Championship in the inaugural Premier League season in 1992-93.

Robson's final season as a United player saw him collect a Double of Premier League and FA Cup trophies as he signed off his tenure with the club in style.

A dynamic box to box midfielder, Robson tirelessly covered every blade of grass on the pitch as he assisted and scored consistently, turning United from also ran's to genuine title contenders for much of his tenure at the club.

Today, Robson is still employed by the club as a Global Ambassador; a position he has held since 2011.
