Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and Gary and Phil Neville all played in one of the greatest Premier League teams ever withManchester United.The five of them, with David Beckham, comprised the Class of ’92 and became hugely decorated at Old Trafford under Sir Alex Ferguson.
5Goalkeeper: David Seaman
Initially Gary Neville opted for Thibaut Courtois or Petr Cech between the sticks but he was overuledand the quintet decided to go for Arsenal and England legend David Seaman in the XI..Seaman made his name as one of the best shot-stoppers in the world during his time in north London.He spent 11 seasons with the Gunners and was crowned a Premier League champion twice under Arsene Wenger before he moved to Manchester City.
5Defenders: Pablo Zabaleta, John Terry, Vincent Kompany, Ashley Cole
There was no debate over John Terry’s inclusion at the heart of the defence, with the former Chelsea skipper winning five titles and playing 492 league matches for the Blues.Ashley Cole filled one of the full-back spots without any qualms for his brilliant consistency on the left-flank for both Arsenal and Chelsea. The tougher calls came for the remaining spots but it was Manchester City’s modern heroes that came out trumps over Arsenal’s defenders in Wenger’s early reign.Two-time Premier League winner Pablo Zabaleta was preferred to Gunners legend Lee Dixon and Manchester City skipper Vincent Kompany was selected ahead of Tony Adams.
5Midfielders: Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard, Patrick Vieira
Liverpool midfielder Steven Gerrard was selected by all of them without any hesitation after leading the Reds to Champions League glory in 2005 and making 504 Premier League appearances.Patrick Vieira was the next to be included, with Gary Neville insisting he was a “certainty” for the team.The quintet then realised they would have to leave out Frank Lampard if they persisted with a 4-4-2 formation – but when Butt insisted he simply had to make the cut for his goalscoring ability, the formation was changed to 4-3-3 to accommodate the inclusion of the Chelsea legend.
5Attack: Eden Hazard, Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry
The Premier League’s all-time top scorer Alan Shearer was immediately given the seal of approval from the whole quintet.Another easy inclusion was Chelsea’s current star Eden Hazard, who joined the Blues from Lille in 2012 and was named Player of the Season in the Premier League within three years of joining.The last pick proved more tricky, however, with Gareth Bale, Luis Suarez and Denis Bergkamp all mentioned, but eventually Thierry Henry was given the nod to finish the line-up.
