Manchester United's greatest players of all time have been ranked - with Ryan Giggs coming out on top.

The Red Devils are one of English football's most successful teams and have won the league 20 times in their history.

A host of legends have stepped foot on the Old Trafford turf, but the Manchester Evening News believe none compare to Giggs.

Making his debut in 1991, Giggs spent the next 23 years with United and became their record appearance maker with 963 games.
