It's war. Who fights alongside you?

David May
Paul McShane
Mads Timm
Ben Amos
Richard Eckersley

They might be skinny, but they're all gingers with nothing to lose
 
I see a few stating they take rooney with them, meh don't think I'd take a guy who most likely do a Benedict Arnold (join the other side, for those unfamiliar with the American war of Independence) if things didn't look good like in 2010, also keano, again meh, as remember he is from Cork and that is as closet we have here in Ireland to scouse land, as in county first, country second, so if Cork came a calling, keano would go a running and most likely if we had AK-47s instead of AR-15s been the drama queen he can be like in 02.

I have to agree with 3 of @Frank Grimes 5

Gregg........guy proved what a tough fearless brave fecker he was in Munich.
Moran.......guy is also handy with a lump of wood given he is an ex GAA man.
Robson.....even hurt he still marches on.
Bruce........sticks his noggin in anywhere without fear of outcome.
Stiles........fearless little shit and given size, bite the ankles of the bloody bastards if we ran out of bullets.

You have 5 past/present United bastards to choose for your unit. Your life would be in their hands. Who would you go to war with?

I'm going with:
  • Keane (The mad bastard/firearm specialist)
  • Vidic (The huge bastard/detonation expert)
  • Zlatan (The egotistical bastard/sniper)
  • Carrick (The brainy bastard/medic)
  • Cantona (The brave bastard/leader)

Le King, Eric Cantona.

The first two names that come to mind are Keane and Vidic. Vidic all the way. Keane, an undisputed beast, lost his head against weaker players, but Vidic was a class warrior who if he wanted to could destroy Keano.

After that, Cantona for sure, although going after a fan was poor form. Rooney of course. An unexpected pick but my fifth choice would be Ruud. The man was an animal who could butcher you with the ball or without the ball.

The 'fan' deserved it.
 
Dong
Tim Howard

Juan Mata
Park Ji Sung
Evra

All you idiots picking ‘hard men’ I’m calling China and the US into the war on my side. Then Evra, Mata and Park are my diplomats being universally well liked and covering all my voting bases.
 
Martial - Thunderbird 1
Casemiro - Thunderbird 2
Malacia - Thunderbird 3
Eriksen - Thunderbird 4
Antony - Thunderbird 5 (awaiting transfer)

Tenhagerbirds are go!
 
Rooney - hard as nails
Keane - harder than nails
Vidic - serbian
Rojo - chef
Park - kung fu

Bit harsh to blame Cantona for that. It was a transitional season and it wasn't Eric who SAF showed the door to that summer, it was Ince and Kanchelskis.
 
Keane - Squad leader | machine gun
Stam - Fear inducing | knife & RPG
Rojo - Street smarts | ak47 & martial arts
Rashford - Medic | bandaids
Van der Sar - Negotiator | gifts
 
Park Ji-Sung
Shinji Kagawa
Dong Fangzhou
Tahith Chong

The elite assassin squad with martial arts backgrounds. Four is enough to take out whole armies.

please don’t ban me, I’m not lacist

Now you have me wondering if I have my facts right!

According to sources on the internet, the Kung Fu kick occurred in January 1995 and if that's true we were in the middle of the 94-95 season. Blackburn won the PL in the 94-95 and we came in second by one point, 89 to 88.

A quick scan of our W/L/D record after the Kung Fu reports several unexpected dropped points (but it happens) and the match we all remember -- the final match draw to West Ham, which had we won it would have given us the extra two points and the PL trophy.

This was our starting XI that day:

Starting lineup:
GoalkeeperPeter Schmeichel
DefenderDenis Irwin
DefenderGary Neville
DefenderGary Pallister
Centre backSteve Bruce
MidfielderNicky Butt
MidfielderPaul Ince
MidfielderRoy Keane
MidfielderBrian McClair
MidfielderLee Sharpe
ForwardAndrew Cole

One can never be sure about these things, but it's more than a hunch that if Cantona had started we would have found a way to win the game and retain the PL trophy and would have made it 3 straight and eventually 8 out of 9 and then 9 out of 11.

For me, the Kung Fu kick wasn't worth it.
 
  • Mata- hugs and something beautiful for the men to protect and remind them what they're fighting for
  • Keane- Leader and captain
  • Irwin- Mr dependable in any situation
  • Vida- weapon of mass destruction
  • Cantona- Tactics and guile and philosophical quotes
 
I would go with

1.Roy Keane
2.Eric Cantona
3. Zlatan Ibrahimovic
4. Jaap Stam
5.Peter Schmeichel

It's one of the most dangerous groups that anyone can find it from footballer , tbh. And I'm pretty sure they will win against any group that they come against.

Honorable mentions: Vidic, Norman Whiteside and Bryan Robson

I think it was down to more than just Eric, granted we failed to score in 5 games after the ban, but to place it all on him, be a disservice to that team, as they were more than a one-man team, as if you want to level it at certain players, Cole should/could share some blame as well, as he only scored in 6 out of 19 games for us after joining which was a poor return, but he was pretty rubbish goalscoring wise till Le King left.

Sure, but I'm not suggesting that United were a one-man team, but Cantona was undeniably our best player in 94-95. The loss of one's best player, and captain, would very likely have the effect of costing a team 2 points over the course of 12-15 matches.
 
Kevin Moran
Joe Jordan
Roy Keane
Nick Butt
Nemanja Vidic

Put them behind Russian lines in their prime and it's game over. No weapons needed.
 
Vidic
Keane
Rooney (the hyper aggressive younger version)
Martinez (biased after the other night.)
Stam.

I pity the other side.
