Moyes. Got us closest to where we are now.

I think Jose made some quality signings at the time (Pogba, Lukaku, Ibra)

Moyes had an aging squad but full of experience and winners.

Jose had a decent team for a year. As did LVG.

Probably enjoyed the Ole team the most though with Greenwood Cavani Rashy Bruno. It's no coincidence that 6 of our 7 biggest margin wins all came in this period.

I'd say the current team is easily the weakest we've had since Fergie left. We've spent masses of money and have very little to show for it. In fact two of our brightest stars cost us absolutely nothing.

This is a trick question... When you add the incompetence of Ed Woodward, buying players just to sell shirts and appease sponsors. Getting players managers didn’t want, it’s a hard one to answer...

I think Ole was well on his way, until CR7 messed it all up. And I’m not blaming CR7.
It just fooked everything up....

Or players we signed that the manager didn't want.

His squad was definitely the strongest, but also included a lot of LVGs signings.

He signed Mkhitaryan too, who’s done well at Inter.

Although Pogba and Lukaku didn’t turn out too well.

Ole.

Until, and like mentioned already, Christiano Ronaldo and the circus arrived.

In hindsight, dumping Ole was the wrong decision.

Doubtful whether MUFC could put together a complete, theoretical, first MUFC/EPL quality first XI from ANY of the post SAF squads (not least because of the long-term presence of the clown in goal for much/most of that time).


But I'm a bit bored so I'll try:

Onana

AWB
Maguire
Shaw

Ronaldo
Rooney
Fernandes
Pogba
Mata

Lukaku
Depay


Kind of sad really to consider that since 2013 that's only just about the best first team the club could have theoretically put out.

Especially when the fact that under SAF for much of the clubs strongest EPL era (1995-2005 ish) MUFC had both the best and second best starting XIs in the league.

He was terrible towards the end so it was the right decision. We should have replaced him better.
