Top 10 greatest Manchester United midfielders of all time

#3: Bryan Robson

Captain Marvel won so much less than he actually deserved

He’d be all over the pitch, terrorising the opposition’s defence, menacing the midfield and smacking in goals. Bryan could do anything, he was Captain Courageous, and bloomin’ hell, he would often win games on his own.

Former United great Lou Macari has quite a bag of sweet words in his basket for Bryan Robson.

It is an absolute pity to see that Captain Marvel won so much less than he actually deserved. A loyal servant in United's darkest times, Bryan Robson would become the legendary number seven with his brilliant leadership skills and match-winning abilities.

Arriving at Old Trafford after seven years with West Bromwich Albion, the midfielder was one of the very few players who was pivotal to United's rise as one of the greatest clubs in the world. Robson was a torch-bearer for the young Fergie's Fledglings, who would go on to conquer the world with their impressive displays. The great midfield enforcer was known to be equally adept in attack as well as in defence, being a commanding presence in the midfield.

In his vital thirteen-year tenure, Robson appeared 469 times, falling just one short of a century of goals. The English defensive midfielder procured 8 trophies leaving on the brink of United's golden era. A player who deserved so much more!
