Which United legend is in the Ballon d'Or all-time XI?

With the sport’s most prestigious individual prize cancelled for the first time in its 64-year history, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the respected French magazine instead asked 140 journalists to come up with an all-time XI.

The end result? A star-studded 3-4-3 line-up, with Cristiano Ronaldo included up front, alongside his great Ballon d'Or rival Lionel Messi and Brazilian namesake Ronaldo.

Of course, Portugal's Ronaldo made his name at Old Trafford, after joining from Sporting Lisbon in 2003. He scored 118 goals in 292 games and helped Sir Alex Ferguson’s side to win three Premier League titles and the Champions League in 2008.
