Butt and Scholes look back on Sir Alex Ferguson's most inspiring moments | Football's Greatest: Eras

[@footballsgreatestpod]

Who was Sir Alex Ferguson's greatest signing? ✍

[@liamwhitehouse4051]

1 Cantona 2 Rooney 3 Van der Sar

[@maitiu6802]

That’s a tough one 🤔 Depends what direction your coming from 💁🏼‍♂️

[@squire7618]

RVPs goals won us our last league title,so I'd say him.

[@adamwillms14987]

Got to be the clubs top scorer, Rooney.

[@Nickyc77777]

Eric, he was perfect at the time and as a fan he is my favourite player. Special without a doubt but the change on the team was massive. Match winner but also helped us tick though a game. I love every player who played bar the odd few. So many special players and signings but Eric Cantona changed us.

[@davidrobinson2776]

I'm a Newcastle fan and I will never forget what Nicky Butt did for us. While other players jumped ship after we got relegated, Nicky stayed and helped us get back to the Premier League. Respect to him.

Fergie looked at the man as well as the player and that's what made our dressing room so strong for so many years.

Paul Scholes, you were my favourite player, and Nicky Butt was SO underrated. Cheers lads, and C'mon United ❤ Imagine what Sir Alex was like in his Aberdeen days?😂

[@mikeryan4055]

Just ask Gordon Strachan.. the documentary that Eric cantona made always makes me laugh when Strachan is telling the players what to expect when going from Ron Atkinson to Alex Ferguson. He doesn't a little chuckle and says "this is different boys, this is very different" 😂😂 it's my favourite bit of the whole documentary

Pele once praised Nicky Butt during the 2002 World Cup saying he was a 'tremendous midfielder' and the best player of the tournament up to that point.

[@FootkerSnooball]

I know, luckily Gerrard was injured that tournament so England did better than expected rather than worse than expected in the next bunch of tournaments where unfortunately Butt pulled out of Euro2004 injured and Gerrard backpassed for France to win the group and England had to play the hosts instead of Greece.

[@daveb5211]

United played my team back in the day. Waited outside for the United team to come out the stadium and get on the coach. Butt and Scholes just walked right past us and didn't even acknowledge any of the fans waiting, United fans included. They got straight on the coach and started playing cards. There was only Ferguson, Beckham and Nistelrooy who signed autographs and spoke to us.
