Just been watching a video on Youtube, from the Full Time Devils. I'm not one to post on you tube so i thought i would bring the discussion here.
Here is the video:
Here is my Top 5: 1) Paul Scholes: What more needs to be said about Scholsey, IMO the best player to have ever played in the Premiership. A lot of the greatest players to ever play the game, the likes of Zidane and Xavi would also confirm this.
2) Ryan Giggs: Nearly my first choice but was just pipped by Scholesy. The most decorated play in Prem history.
3) Peter Schmeichel: IMO the greatest goalkeeper to ever play the game, how could you not have him in the top 5?
4) Eric Cantona: Wow just wow, A player who inspired the "Class of 92" to go on and become a European powerhouse...and that goal!!!!!
5) Roy Keane: I thought i would try to be unbiased and put a player from another team in, the likes of Zola, Shearer and Henry crossed my mind. But if i had to pick a team out of those then Roy Keane would have been the first name on the team sheet.
You may have noticed the omission on Ronaldo. I feel although he has become one of the best in the world, he only had a about 3 seasons in the Prem at his top level and thought my 5 deserved their place more.
Let me know your top 5 guys

Do you mean top 5 Utd players during the PL era? Because there is no way the top 5 PL players are all Utd players...

Just my personal opinion mate. who's your top 5? Could take me a while - been a fan for over 40 years only Premier League not the old Division 1. So '92 onwards.

Still too many to choose from to narrow it down to a 5 - would take your 5 and add RVN and maybe Rio in his prime and obviously Ronnie too

Top 5 is pretty much impossible. Top 20 would be hard enough.
Schmiechel, Keane, Cantona, Scholes, Ronaldo, Giggs, Henry, Vieira, Shearer, Bergkamp, Lampard, Gerrard, Adams; all got legitimate claims to be top 5 in my view. I know as it's a United forum we have to pretend Shearer and Gerrard are shit and all that, but they just weren't really, at all.

Shearer and Gerrard are both blue eyed England boy legitimate c*nts though. So they're ruled out in my book.
Anyway, my top 5 in no particular order:
Scholes Ronaldo Scholes Henry Scholes

United have dominated the Prem era, so you could make a case for all 5 being United players.
For example:
Ronaldo Giggs Scholes Keane Ferdinand
Or you could go:
Ronaldo Henry Scholes Keane Giggs
Or, if you wanted to be really balanced:
Ronaldo Henry Bergkamp Zola Scholes
