A Manchester United XI to rival Keane's all-time Premier League greats

Roy Keane caused quite a stir with his all-time Manchester United XI in the Premier League era that he revealed on Monday Night Football.

Keane had a plethora of United greats to choose from but there was no place for the likes of Paul Scholes, Eric Cantona and Rio Ferdinand in his squad.

The Irishman's formidable team got us thinking about an alternative side which could give the one picked by Keane a run for their money.

Keane did not make it easy, selecting players that would have walked into any greatest United XI and who held their positions for so long that it was hard to find suitable replacements.
