Ryan Giggs has been named as the greatest player in the history of Manchester United.
United's top 50 players have been ranked by FourFourTwo, who have named Giggs as the greatest footballer to have called Old Trafford home.
Giggs played his entire professional career at United, where he became one of the most decorated players in the history of the sport.

He won 13 Premier League titles with United, more than any other player, as well as four FA Cups, three League Cups and the Champions League twice.
In total, he scored 168 goals in 963 games for the Red Devils and is the club's all-time record appearance maker.
He would also briefly serve as the club’s interim manager following the sacking of David Moyes in 2014.

The former Wales captain recently stepped down from his role as manager of his national side as he awaits trial after being accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
FourFourTwo named club legend Bobby Charlton second on their list behind Giggs.
Charlton scored 249 goals in 758 games during a 17-year spell at United.

A survivor of the 1958 Munich air disaster, Charlton would play a crucial role in rebuilding the club, going on to win the European Cup a decade later in 1968.
A member of England's victorious 1966 World Cup squad, Charlton was awarded the Ballon d'Or that same year.
The winner of the award two years later, George Best, has been ranked third on the list.
Widely viewed as one of the greatest players in the history of football, Best scored 179 goals in 470 matches for United.

Another of the sport’s all-time greats, Cristiano Ronaldo, was ranked 12th.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has scored 142 goals in 330 games for United over the course of his two separate spells at the club but has spent the majority of his career outside of England.
He is one of only two players in United’s current squad to make the top 50, along with goalkeeper David De Gea. Check out the full rankings below:
