With Manchester United picking up their 18th English Football Premiership title and also having a record 11 FA Cups it would be a brave person to suggest they are not the greatest club in England (Liverpool people are a brave bunch though).
But who are the greatest players to have played for the club in its 131 year history? Here is my top ten for you to debate over.
10 - BRYAN ROBSON
The longest serving captain in United's history. He moved from West Bromwich Albion in 1981 and "Captain Marvel" quickly made the midfield his own. His leadership abilities were second to none.
9 - RYAN GIGGS
The Welsh maestro has entertained and amazed the Old Trafford faithful through many changes of personnel. No matter who his team mates happen to be he has found a way to be effective and a major contributor. His skill with the ball at his feet is matched only by the elite.
8 - ROY KEANE
One of the most successful captains in the history of the game. The Irish midfielder is mostly remembered for his fierce determination and will to win. Many times when the going got tough in games Keane would elevate his intensity and drag his side to the win.
7 - PETER SCHMEICHEL
Quite simply the greatest goalkeeper of his era. The Great Dane marshaled his troops at the back with an authoritative voice and commanded his area with skills rivalled by very few in history.
6 - DAVID BECKHAM
Announced his arrival as a teenager with a goal from behind the halfway line. His star rose to international mega-star proportions and became one of the best attacking midfielders of his generation. A fan favourite.
