Cristiano Ronaldo has been voted Manchester United’s
best ever Premier League player, but fans have been left
far from impressed by the results.
United asked fans to vote on four categories to celebrate
their 1,000th Premier League game on the final day of
the season against Watford.
Supporters were asked for their best goal, best game
and best save, alongside the title of best player to pull
on a United shirt since August 1992.
The first three voted all proved relatively straightforward,
with Wayne Rooney winning best goal for his acrobatic
effort against Manchester City, United’s 4-3 win over
their neighbours in 2009 being voted the best game, and
David de Gea’s incredible save from Juan Mata in 2012
getting the nod for best save.
However, much of the chatter around the results was
reserved for Ronaldo’s award, with many fans pointing
out there were several United players who had
contributed much more in the top flight.
Ronaldo pushed Ryan Giggs into second place, while
Paul Scholes was voted third.
A number of fans took to Twitter to question the
outcome, pointing to the Premier League titles Giggs and
Scholes had accrued at Old Trafford, compared with the
Portuguese.
And others suggested that the influence of Eric Cantona
was much more important to the club than Ronaldo’s
six-year stint between 2003 and 2009.
To be fair to the Real Madrid striker, he did pick up three
Premier League titles, while also sweeping the board for
top individual awards in 2008, winning both the Ballon
d’Or and the FIFA World Player of the Year award, as
well as picking up the Premier League’s golden boot for
the 2007-08 season.
He will be looking to add yet more silverware to his
cabinet before the end of the season, as he leads Real
Madrid’s frontline against Liverpool in the Champions
League final on May 26.
