45) Owen Hargreaves
Another incredibly injury prone player, Owen Hargreaves looked a superb buy for United in 2007, playing a key part in their double win that year, though he did little afterwards.
44) Mikael Silvestre
Now well known for an awful spell at Arsenal, Mikael Silvestre was initially a smart signing by United and a key part of their defence.
43) Ander Herrera
Only into his second season at United, but Ander Herrera looks like the kind of classy and intelligent midfield playmaker they have been crying out for for some time.
42) Wes Brown
A solid and consistent defender who never really let United down, Wes Brown played his part in numorous title wins and is an underrated figure of the Sir Alex Ferguson era.
41) John O’Shea
Just like Brown, John O’Shea was a consistent and versatile player who did his bit to help the club to no end of success.
