Manchester United may not have the best time in major competitions, but it has been dominating the English Premier League for years after its separation from the First Division. Let’s recall the best Man Utd players in the EPL and see who were the brightest stars in one of the oldest clubs of one of the most popular football leagues. 

Next year, the English Premier League will celebrate its 32nd birthday. In 1992, the First Division, which was the highest tier of the English Football hierarchy, was transformed into the Premier League. It was supposed to generate better income and profit from selling TV broadcast rights to other countries. So it happened that with the transformation of the tournament, Manchester United took the lead and never really loosened their grip. 

Starting with the 1992/93 season and until Sir Alex Ferguson retired from football, Man Utd won 13 seasons out of 21. They still hold the record, although Manchester City are getting closer and closer, currently owning 7 trophies and looking like nothing is stopping them from taking the League again.

However, long before Man City, it was United who ruled the EPL. After winning two seasons in a row, Man Utd unexpectedly lost to Blackburn Rovers led by Alan Shearer in 1994/95. Starting with the next season, Ferguson began to mainly rely on his younglings, also known as The Class of 1992. In the 1998/99 season, they won a treble: Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League. But who were the best Man Utd players in the EPL to lead the club to success?

Most notable Man Utd footballers in the 1990s

• David Beckham is arguably the most famous footballer of the 1990s. After winning everything with Manchester United, he went to Real Madrid. He is now a co-owner of Inter Miami, the one Leo Messi joined in summer 2023.
• Peter Schmeichel is a Danish goalkeeper who was the club’s captain during their 1998/99 campaign and one of the best Man Utd players in the EPL.
• Roy Keane, one of the greatest captains of the club, is known for having a vicious attitude and being a great motivator, especially before big games. His beefs with Patrick Vieira in the 1990s and 2000s were relentless.
• Eric Cantona is an absolute legend of the 1990s team, as he won 4 league titles. He is memorable for his incident during a game against Crystal Palace when he kung-fu kicked a Palace fan, as well as his goal celebration against Sunderland, which eventually even became available in FIFA games.
• Paul Scholes won 11 titles with the club. One of the best Man Utd players in the EPL, he is most remembered for his goal against Barcelona that took United to the UCL final in 2008. He is a co-owner of Salford City, a club from League Two with good odds at online gambling sites in Ireland.
• Ryan Giggs was the most decorated English footballer of all time and generally a player that many fans associate with the 90s United. His goal against Arsenal in the 1998/99 FA Cup semifinal has become legendary.

Best Manchester United players of the 2000s and 2010s

• Wayne Rooney is one of the best Man Utd players in the EPL. He moved to the club from Everton at the age of 18 and made an impact in his first game by scoring a hat-trick against Fenerbahçe. He was the most important player during late 2000s-early 2010s seasons.

• Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded as one of the best footballers of all time. The Portuguese joined Man Utd from Sporting, first as a midfielder, but later Ferguson moved Ronaldo to his common forward’s position.
• Rio Ferdinand was the epitome of a reliable defender and the face of Manchester United defence in the 2000s. If only the club had someone like him during the Champions League 2023/24.
• Ruud van Nistelroy was the team’s forward in the mid-2000s and overall a great footballer. After he left to Real Madrid, only then Ronaldo and Rooney were moved up higher to fill in the gap.

In 2012/13 after winning his 13th title Ferguson announced his retirement and some critics and pundits were nervous that Manchester United would not be the same after Ferguson’s departure and were correct. From 2013/14 the club has not won the Premier League a single time. The most successful period belongs to José Mourinho’s management when they won the Community Shield, League Cup, and UEFA Europa League all in one season. 

As of now, the club is managed by Erik ten Hag and so far they have won a League Cup last season and currently are 13th in the Premier League. Bet365 has various betting markets on Man Utd and its players, so you can use them at the beginning of the 2023/24 EPL season.
