Former Manchester United manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, has admitted that he worked with only four world-class players, during his time at the club.
The Scot named Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes as the quartet, who were at the very highest level.
Ferguson told BBC’s Football Focus: “They made the difference and the evidence is there. When we brought him [Cantona] in we won the league that season – it was his mere presence and his ability to make and score goals.
“The younger breed like Ryan and Scholes were just fantastic players and the thing about those two was longevity. Are there players who have played right through the whole of the Premier League and performed at the level they have? There are none, absolutely none.
“Of course, Ronaldo was just a complete genius of a player.”
