Top 5 attacking trios of all time 

3. George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton

George Best, Denis Law and Sir Bobby Charlton

The United Trinity, as they are known, have been honoured with a statue outside Old Trafford. They were the attacking triumvirate who led Manchester United to the top of English and European football in the 1960s.

All three won the Ballon d'Or in the 1960s, then awarded by the magazine France Football to the best European player that year. Law won it in '64, Charlton in '66 and Best in '68.

Denis Law was a proper poacher, while George Best was a skilful winger and is still considered as one of the best dribblers of all time. Bobby Charlton was an attacking midfielder who played behind the other two, with a penchant for scoring long-range goals. He was the anti-thesis of Best in terms of his personality.

While Best had a great impact on pop culture, Charlton was always reserved and unfashionable, which may have led to the viewers slightly underrating him. They played together from 1964 to 1973 and combined to score 516 goals together; Law - 208, Best - 177, Charlton - 131.

Law helped win the English league in 1965 and 1967 but missed out on the club's greatest triumph a year later as United won their first-ever European Cup. Regardless, they have been immortalised in United's history with the statue and will continue to serve as an inspiration in the future.
