Where would this Manchester United old boys XI finish in the Premier League?

The news that Ryan Shawcross has made his loan switch to Stoke City a
permanent one got me thinking about the number of Manchester United old boys
knocking around. This team would not do too badly in the Premier League, I
reckon. I tried to pick players that came through the ranks at Old Trafford as far
as possible. Does that Sunderland manager have a United connection or
something?

Tim Howard (Everton)

Paul McShane (Sunderland)
Ryan Shawcross (Stoke City)
Danny Higginbotham (Sunderland)
Danny Pugh (Stoke City)

Jonathan Greening (West Brom)
Liam Miller (Sunderland)
Nicky Butt (Newcastle)
Kieran Richardson (Sunderland)

David Healy (Fulham)
Giuseppe Rossi (Villarreal)

Where do you think the old boys team would finish in the league? Any additions
you would like to make to the squad?

 

[red_dec7]

yer take Kieran Richardson out

 

[carlyluvsunited]

yer take Kieran Richardson out

Right.....OK then.....

Have a sit down.....

Catch your breath.....

Then try to explain who to replace him with.....

And where you think they will finish in the league

 

[akash_reds]

i think 12th position..........

 

[red_devils4life]

I think 15th place.

 

[Northern Ireland MUFC]

17th and just about. Up front is good defence and midfield is just too poor.

 

[Toybos]

i reckon twelfth seems about right but i wouldnt take richardson out hes decent enough...

 

[Solsk]

bottom 5

the defence would get torn to shreads against the top 8 teams.

 

[akash_reds]

they have a decent strike............
but we need a name for this team...........
hw about "Rejects United"!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[versa]

New addition: Louis Saha.

Bottom 3 and relegated because Saha will be injured....

 

[dovorian]

10-12th......If there lucky

 

[Jazz 16]

Thats funny, i was just thinking about this yesterday......weird

You could add Smudger to the team as well.

i reckon this team would avoid the drop.....maybe 14/15th spot.

 

[alto10]

bardsley maybe at the back,

[yangch0000]

who is the manager?

 

[Harvo]

Not very high at all, most of the players are championship side players and they'd be lucky if they didn't get relegated.

 

[KuwaitMUFC]

Bottom 5

 

[eoininho]

surely philly neville would make the team, and forlan and heinze and van nistelrooy if your including spanish league, what about becks? could field a better team

the answer of the team you made would be relegation battlers,

 

[Damian]

Relegation (and people like Van Nistelrooy, Heinze and Smith didnt come through the youth system like Carly says in 1st post but Becks could be in there

ah got ya, didn bother readin the start of her post, either way most of our youth products over the last 5-10 years have been SHITE, if J O'Shea and Darren Fletcher are the most promising our acadamy is a farce compared to what it was!!!!!!!!
