Ronny Johnsen is surely a good shout for a United underrated XI. I'd have Andrew Cole in there as well - he got a lot of unwarranted stick before Yorke arrived.
Agree with bloodred about Veron. Definitely a player I wish we'd seen more of.
Shay Given used to always be class against us. One of his best games was in 08 at Old Trafford, we still beat them 6-0.
Carrick - Wasn't underrated by the end, but it took people a few years to realise how good he was.

It was really interesting to see the evolution of the opinion of Carrick. He used to get loads of abuse on the old 606, people would just call him a crab for years!

A lot of people just never warmed to Carrick because he didn’t play like Keane and wasn’t as good as Scholes on the ball.
Carrick is the best English midfielder of all time. I think most people agree on that.
Never!!! I just don't get why no one in the world rated Carrick.

Tbf Carrick gets better every year.
Who will be the next overly underrated player when they retire? Main criteria is that they don't really do much of note whilst playing, but when they retire you suddenly say they did because they aren't playing anymore so you can just make stuff up
Anyone see Cafu pick Henderson over Modric in his combined Madrid and Liverpool XI?

Declan rice mate
Park ji Sung
Jesper Blomqvist
John O’Shea
Everyone goes to the gym at 6am because that's when no one else goes.
Everyone has tattoos to show how unique they are.
Carrick is the most underrated player in the world because everyone rates him very highly which shows how underrated he is.
I like these kind of annoying things. What are they called? Like oxymoron type things?
Underrated United XI
O'Shea
Rafael Johnsen Pallister Blackmore
Kanchelskis Butt Veron Solskjaer
Cole Saha
Post above beat me to it, but I feel Andy Cole is massively underrated
DeSanctis
Grava Fernandez Campagnaro Albiol Zuniga
Gargano Bogliacino Giaccherini
Pandev Quagliarella
Matt Le Tissier
For reasons i will never understand he barely gets any recognition despite a remarkable strike rate and by far the scorer of the most outstanding goals.
An attacking midfielder scoring 209 goals, almost fifty more than the 'sensational' Robert Pires.

Nick is so defensive Conte and Mourinho are in awe of him.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not defensive, just ridiculous to say given was better that’s all.
Gary Neville
Giroud
And already said, but Carrick. Some people still under rate him. It’s taken all this time to find someone to replace him and the job he did for the team.
Had to laugh at Hazard

Think I'd have Darren Fletcher in my underrated midfield. He was great for a couple of years, culminating in the 09-10 season. Big-game player who scored important goals too.

Kos - was the best CB in the league at one point
was never, ever the case.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Good shout though. Really good defender I thought.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I never ever rated him, had torrid times and made mistake after mistake against chelsea.
But each to their own. I thought he summed up what was wrong with arsenal at the time. Flattered to deceieve.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
He was an animal though.
Scored key goals as well.
I rmemeber a fletcher looping header against chelsea. think utd won 1-0
Hazard got him the one time at the Bridge, but apart from that he dealt with Chelsea pretty well.
