Honestly, the fact the you and I, and no doubt quite a few others, have Cavani as our favourite player of the 20s is an indictment of the rest of our squad.

Although I will say that Rashy is a very close second and another player I have much affection for.

Favourite Jersey: 1988 Adidas Blue Away shirt
Favourite Performance: I'll never forget coming back from 3-0 against spurs to win 5-3, etched into my brain

Favorite shirt: 1985 Home Sharp Top (First one I bought)

Performance: 99 Arsenal FA Cup Semi final. The game that had everything.

I actually missed the 2 goals in extra time at the 99 CL final at Nou Camp. Like George Best I thought that it was all over and switched off the TV, I locked up the shop where I was working on about 88 minutes, drove 5 min home to find my flatmate saying I can't believe it, they won. I did the same in 2008, so it has now become a superstition. I didn't do it last year so the Villarreal loss is on me, sorry everyone.

Player, 80 Jesper Olsen, 90 Cantona, 00 Rooney, 10 Fellaini (really really), 20 Too early to decide

Don't have a least favourite player

Fav away ground: Anfield (try sitting with the home supporters and suppressing your joy when United score.

Best transfer year 89/ 90: We re-signed Hughes, then Pallister and Paul Ince. Arguably it was the difference for ending the 26 year drought. Best signing was Cantona in 92, last piece in the cog. Andy Cole was probably one of the most anticipated though.

Fav season: 1984/ 85

Small point Ken, Ronaldo left United in 2009.

Fav Jersey? The 1993/ 4 black away kit .
Fav performance? Has to be the Home Cup Winners Cup game v Barcelona in 84 where we won 3 nil and they had Maradona.
Fav player from 70s 80s 90s 2000's, 2010's 2200's. 70’s Torn, I saw George Best at OT so that was amazing seeing him walk out but he wasn’t at his peak so probably Gordon Hill honourable mentions for Jim Holton, Buchan and Pearson.
80’s Whiteside, probably being behind the goal in 85 when he bent it past Southall to win the FA cup was the moment
90’s Cantona, he was THE catalyst. I was at Maine Road when he conducted the team to come back to win 3-2 and it was pure poetry
2000’s Ronaldo the greatest of all
10's Van Persie, what a season, who can forget the Villa HatTrick, to win golden boot, the league and the goal of the season
20s Greenwood
Least fav player as with Ken, 70s paddy roache 80s Alan Brazil 90s tiabi 00 barthez 10s fellini 20s martial
Signing most excited about, Veron
Signing most disappointed by. Laurent Blanc, how on Earth did SAF replace Stam with him
Fav away ground. Nou Camp, after my visit in May 99 there could only be there
Fav season 2007/ 8 Ronaldo Rooney Tevez.

Favourite kit would be the 2009 black away kit with the blue v on the front.
Favourite performance/ game would be our 4-3 home win against Real Madrid in the 2003 UCL quarter-finals. Just a great game, end to end, two top teams, it was like watching two heavy weight boxers slugging it out for the undisputed world No.1.
While the 99 UCL final was the one that got me the most emotional. Just the way we won it.
Favourite player, I was 4 when the 80's ended so little point doing any before that. So 90's has to be Cantona, 00's Scholes, 10's Carrick, 20's Rashford.
I won't do least favourite player as I tend to either like a player or feel nothing for them, very few if any that I actually dislike.
Most disappointing signing Di Maria, I was always a big fan of his, but the way everything turned out it leaves a bitter taste.
Most exciting signing has to be Rooney, he was best young player in England with the potential to be the best in the world. I was buzzing when we signed him.
Favourite away ground is St. James park, I have a soft spot for Newcastle and the games there are always entertaining.
Season: while 98/ 99 was special, for me it has to be the 07/ 08 season. The front three of Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez, the defence of Vidic, Rio, Evra and Neville/ Brown in front of VDS and the midfield that included Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves (fit) and Anderson (when he was playing Fabregas off the park and looked like a future world beater) . Nani and Giggs offered options wide if needed. It was my favourite group of players and we played with a real authority and assurance even in Europe. Plus we won the league and UCL double.

Anderson played fabregas off the park? Don't remember that one.

{Ed014's Note - me neither, he is talking about the short fat lad with braids in his hair and not Viv is he?

Favorite Jersey - I really liked the kits in 2008 particularly the black one.

Performance- Roma at home in 07 when we smashed them 7-1 or the 6-1 against Arsenal.

Favourite players - 90's it was Giggs (unfortunately), 00's Ronaldo, 10's Juan Mata, 20's Bruno.

Least favourite - 00's was David Bellion, 10's Fellaini and 20's Fred.

Exciting signing - Rooney

Most disappointing- Bastian Schweinsteiger or Falcao, both amazing players but not at the time United signed them.

Away Ground - The Bernabeu was good

Season - 2007/ 8 best side Sir Alex assembled in my opinion.

Anderson played in the 8-2 game I think, he certainly played like a world beater for a few games. Just couldn't get consistency.

Fabregas wasn't playing for arsenal when it was 8-2 dodgy.

I loved that shirt Ken but I also love the ‘93 one will the lace and collar.

So many great performances but the one I was at was the FA Cup semi final in ‘83. Conceded against Arsenal and then Robby and Big Norm scored screamers, all at our end of the ground,

Favourite players
Cooper
Robson
Cantona
Ruud
Ronaldo
Rashford

Least favourite player, quite a few. Kleberson, Bellion, Gibson, Roche

Most excited Cantona
Biggest disappointment Birtles
Away ground Anfield, unbelievable atmosphere
Fav season ‘94, DDG more away games than home ones.
