Fergie's best team ever? Sportsmail lists Manchester United's perfect XI over 25 years
It's the dream that turns into a nightmare - name the best XI from Sir Alex Ferguson's staggering 25 years in charge of Manchester United.
Rattling off the names is easy enough. When you start to think about those you have omitted, then the problems arise.
Here, Sportsmail has a go, knowing unanimity is impossible.

GOALKEEPER: Peter Schmeichel
Boils down to a choice between Peter Schmeichel and Edwin van der Sar, with hardly anything between them. Schmeichel (five titles, one European Cup) gets the nod, but only because he came before Van der Sar (four titles, one European Cup) and broke the mould.




RIGHT BACK: Gary Neville
Paul Parker was an essential component of Ferguson's first title-winning team but Neville is the stand-out candidate. Loyal, brave - a bit of a pain sometimes. But committed and pretty good too. First-team career lasted 19 years and 602 appearances.




CENTRE-HALF: Jaap Stam
Ferguson has admitted to making one of his few mistakes in allowing Jaap Stam to leave in 2001. Only at United for three seasons but won the title in every one, in addition to the Champions League. Strong in the tackle and an excellent reader of the game. Few come close - but some do. Rio Ferdinand for a start.



CENTRE-HALF: Nemanja Vidic
Nemanja Vidic holds the rare distinction of being confirmed a United player on Christmas Day. Struggled at first but has gone on to become one of the world's best defenders. And he has ended that nightmare run against Fernando Torres as well. Has the strength to match any opponent and is proving an outstanding captain.

LEFT BACK: Patrice Evra
Few could quibble if this spot went to Denis Irwin, or even Phil Neville. Frenchman Patrice Evra is slightly better though, especially in an attacking sense.



RIGHT WING: Cristiano Ronaldo
Now the arguments begin. David Beckham is an obvious choice here and his efforts deserve due mention. But someone who was crowned the world's best player during his time at United - and is still rated in the top two - has to have a place. Cristiano Ronaldo's trickery was not to everyone's taste. Forty-two goals in a single season certainly was.



CENTRAL MIDFIELD: Roy Keane
The Irish colossus patrolled the United midfield as though it was his own personal fiefdom. His duels with Arsenal's Patrick Vieira were the stuff of legend and his performance in the 1999 Champions League semi-final against Juventus in Turin, when he was already booked and out of the final, stands comparison with any.



CENTRAL MIDFIELD: Paul Scholes
Sometimes decisions are so tough, it is best to let others make them. Bryan Robson, Paul Ince, Michael Carrick even. But when great players such as Xavi and Edgar Davids are asked to name the man who made United tick, Scholes is the name they always come up with. That will do for us.


LEFT WING: Ryan Giggs
Ferguson likened Ryan Giggs to 'a piece of paper blowing in the wind' when he first saw him as a schoolboy. Nearly 900 appearances later, the Welshman is still going strong. Barring the first FA Cup and European Cup Winners' Cup triumph in 1991, Giggs has played a part in all Ferguson's successes.




CENTRE FORWARD: Wayne Rooney
Arrived a teenage sensation, then condemned to live in Ronaldo's shadow, Wayne Rooney is now starting to blossom. Carried United into their post-Ronaldo season, scoring 32 goals before injury intervened and personal problems came to light. Now back to his best and ready to assume the mantle of greatness for which he was destined.




CENTRE FORWARD: Eric Cantona
More than any single player, Eric Cantona transformed United from nearly-men to champions. Arrived with the swagger of a man destined to usurp Denis Law as the new king. Fifteen years after his departure, he is still adored, that infamous night at Crystal Palace merely enhancing his legend.

sayaaang, Beckham gak ada

Setelah Graham, Wilkinson, hingga Craig Brown yg hampir semuanya ada hubungan selama karir ferguson terutama di aberdeen, giliran wenger yg kasi komentar

Wenger: Ferguson Istimewa

London, detiksport - Arsene Wenger memberikan penghormatan atas pencapaian Sir Alex Ferguson bersama Manchester United. Ia menilai tidak akan ada yang bisa menyamai prestasi pelatih asal Skotlandia itu.

Ferguson akan menandai 25 tahun karirnya bersama MU pada hari Minggu (6/11/2011) nanti. Dalam kurun waktu tersebut, ia sudah mempersembahkan 12 gelar Premier League, lima trofi Piala FA, dua trofi Liga Champions, dan beberapa gelar lainnya. Tak hanya itu, Ferguson juga sukses menjadikan 'Setan Merah' sebagai salah satu klub tersukses di Eropa dan dunia.

Pencapaian luar biasa pelatih MU ini mengundang pujian dari Wenger. Pelatih Arsenal ini bahkan mengklaim tidak akan ada pelatih lain yang bisa menyamai apa yang telah dicapai oleh Ferguson.

"Apa yang bisa Anda katakan? Orang-orang sering membicarakannya saat ini," ucap Wenger seperti dikutip oleh Sky Sports.

"Semua yang bisa Anda katakan adalah ini luar biasa, melalui kualitas dan konsistensi."

"Ini juga istimewa karena saya belum tahu ada orang lain yang 25 tahun di level tertinggi bersama klub yang sama. Tentunya tidak ada orang lain yang akan melakukannya lagi," imbuhnya.

Lima belas tahun bersama Arsenal tak membuat Wenger berpikir ia punya kesempatan untuk menyamai pencapaian Ferguson. Ia lebih memilih untuk membawa The Gunners menjalani musim ini dengan baik setelah sempat tertatih di awal musim.

"Jaraknya sedikit jauh, itu akan jadi 10 tahun lebih."

"Saya sudah senang jika musim ini bagus setelah yang terjadi," tutupnya.

Sir Alex Ferguson melatih Manchester United selama 25 tahun, sementara saya sudah menyukai klub ini selama 15 tahun, yakni sejak tahun 1996 hingga saat ini.

Mungkin saya tidak pernah menyaksikan Manchester United era Sir Matt Busby tapi syukur Alhamdulillah saya diberikan kesempatan menyaksikan Manchester United era Sir Alex Ferguson yang FANTASTIS !!!

[ario adi nugroho]

sosok yg unik??bukan kata unik yg pantas..
tapi sosok yg tidak akan pernah di lupakan dan tak tergantikan om moe

Mourinho: Ferguson Sosok Unik Untuk United, Sepakbola Inggris dan Eropa



Menjelang peringatan 25 tahun karirnya sebagai pelatih di Old Trafford, pujian dan apresiasi terus mengalir dari berbagai pihak untuk Alex Ferguson. Apresiasi terakhir ditunjukkan mantan pelatih Chelsea, Jose Mourinho, yang menyebut Fergie sebagai sosok yang unik.

Pelatih Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho, adalah penggemar berat pelatih Manchester United, yang akan merayakan tahun ke-25 di Old Trafford besok, Minggu (6/11).

Mourinho menegaskan, "Sir Alex adalah seorang manajer yang unik dalam sejarah Manchester United. Sir Alex adalah seorang manajer yang unik dalam sejarah sepakbola Inggris."

"Dan Sir Alex adalah seorang manajer yang unik dalam sejarah sepakbola Eropa."

Pelatih asal Portugal ini adalah salah satu dari sedikit pelatih yang bisa membawa timnya mematahkan dominasi anak asuh Fergie di Liga Inggris. Dalam tiga tahun di Chelsea, Mourinho memenangi enam trofi termasuk dua gelar liga.

Mourinho mendapat dukungan dari sejumlah kalangan untuk menggantikan Ferguson, 69 tahun, ketika ia pensiun.

Namun, alih-alih menyetujui anggapan tersebut, The Special One malah menambahkan, "Saya benar-benar berharap ia tetap berada dalam pekerjaan itu (pelatih Manchester United) dengan kebahagiaan yang sama dan banyak ambisi, untuk waktu yang lebih lama lagi."
