Top 5 players who played under Sir Matt Busby

#1 George Best

George Best earned the nickname "El Beatle" in 1966

And on top of our list is the great George Best - a man who could do wonders with the ball at his feet. A winger, Best was well capable of dribbling past the entire opposition or score from 40 yards out.

Often considered one of the greatest players of all time, Best had a unique style of play which relied greatly on pace. The blazing winger scored 179 goals in about 470 appearances for Manchester United and helped the club win many trophies including the 1968 European Cup.

The Irishman won the Ballon d'Or in 1968 for his sensational footballing prowess. Best donned the famous number 7 jersey for Manchester United which started the story around the now-iconic jersey. He had set the standard so high that over the years only a handful of players have been able to justify the true value of the number 7 jersey.

In total Best won the first division title twice during his illustrious career. Whenever the topic for greatest players of all time is discussed, his name is mentioned in the same breath with the greatest of the greats.
