Roy Keane reveals controversial Man Utd best Premier League XI

In attack there was more controversy, as Eric Cantona and Ruud van Nistelrooy were left out, as were Treble heroes Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole.

 

But Keane said he could not look further than Wayne Rooney – United’s all-time top goalscorer – and Cristiano Ronaldo – who is still going strong at the age of 37.

 

Even though Roy only played with Ronaldo for two full seasons and Rooney for one, their subsequent achievements ensured they were preferred to a catalogue of much-admired United forwards.
