Who are the greatest players in Manchester United’s history? The Athletic gave Andy Mitten the task of compiling his top 25, and we are counting them down this summer, in reverse order. He explains his thought process here.When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer learned he was under consideration for this list, he asked for the names of some of the others included and then remarked: “Loyal team players. That’s part of being a good player.”Solskjaer is possibly the best embodiment of that, alongside the three other strikers who made up a selfless, interchangeable, Treble-winning frontline. Solskjaer (18), Andy Cole (24), Dwight Yorke (29) and Teddy Sheringham (five) scored 76 goals between them that season. Impressive numbers, though none were Ruud van Nistelrooy-esque prolific. It was all about sharing: minutes, moments, responsibilities. As United faced 63 competitive games, it was needed. When one was having an off game, another was waiting to take over.Nowhere was that more evident than in the 1999 Champions League final, when Sheringham and Solskjaer replaced Yorke and Cole and both scored at the last.“Can Manchester United score? They always score…” said commentator Clive Tyldesley. Sheringham did, eliciting the declaration: “Name on the trophy!”Then came arguably the greatest moment in United’s history.“And Solskjaer has won it!” as 60,000 Reds made the vast Camp Nou shake.Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored the winning goal in the 1999 Champions League final (Matthew Ashton/EMPICS via Getty Images)The four forwards were all very different characters. Solskjaer was the anorakish Norwegian who had been managing street teams since the age of 13. Sheringham was the handsome, confident, Cockney. Yorke, from Tobago, was as generous with his affections as he was with his goals. Cole, with his six sisters, the son of a cricket-mad Jamaican Nottingham miner.Sheringham and Cole did not — and still don’t — get on. It barely mattered. Put them on a football pitch as work colleagues and the magic mix came together. They had massive respect for each other as professionals.Solskjaer was hugely respected. There were multiple reasons for that, including being a selfless super sub and receiving a red card during a Premier League game against Newcastle United in April 1998 for bringing down Rob Lee, who was clean through on goal.
