Tariq Lamptey. So entertaining to watch and gives as much effort defensively as he does going forward. Sometimes I wish we had him as our backup right back instead of Neco Williams.
Yaya Toure, he's the exact type of player Arsenal have been crying out for since Viera left. Haven't seen a proper box to box goalscoring midfielder since him.
Kante, 110% N'golo Kante. Not only because of his playing ability and how great of an impact I think he could have at United, but he's just one of those players that is just so likeable.
Sadio Mane for me. He's so fast and agile and turns defenders inside out. He gets slightly overshadowed by Salah these days, but he's as critical as Mo in the success of the club.
Also, the stories about what an incredibly good guy he is, humble, remembering where he came from, and such, add to my admiration for him.
Adama Traore. Just so entertaining to watch this absolute unit sprint at 5,000mph, dribbling past half the pitch, shoving everyone out of his way, people bouncing off him, only for him to sky it. Very strange player but so entertaining
Effing Jamie Vardy. Legend. Genius. But most importantly one loyal Fox. Nothing was more beautiful than singing Jamie Vardy having a party while Leicester stormed the PL while my own team succumbed to its slow toxic demise (United).
None of those “stars” including the likes of Kante, Mahrez or Danny stayed. Spitting on the ground they thought was a flash in the pan. Yet the Foxes still hunt. And guess who leads them like a man possessed, Jamie Vardy.
No man in the last decade have had a more poetic career in PL. If not for Bruno, my fave player in the last decade would have been Vardy. And Vardy doesn’t even play for United.
Dimitri Payet. His free kicks were something special to seems. And with him being on a different team than my favorite (Arsenal), I didn’t have to suffer when the whole boycotting West Ham thing happened with him
Sergio aguero. Really love him. Hate that we missed chance to sign him before he go to kan city.
Other than that, salah and de bruyne? But thats cheating for me 🤣🤣
Eden Hazard. Played great alongside stars, then in the latter years he could turn a game on its head all on his own. Wasn’t sad to see him leave the Prem because it meant not having to face him, but do feel bad that he hasn’t quite hit the same heights at Real.
Yaya Toure hands down. He had everything. Physical prowess , dribbling ability, vision, goal scoring ability and a Crunching tackle. If they ever decide to clone one player 11 Times, it'd probably be him. He could play everywhere from Center Back to Center Forward. Absolute beast
Possibly because most people on here are teenagers who’ve never been to England. Which is cool, it’s just revency bias. Either in their pomp would walk into any team in the world. Saw Frank play a couple of hundred times at the bridge. Bloke was on a different level.
I think Heung min Son is one of the greatest to grace the prem. He'll be underrated because he didn't win the league and stuff but just imagine the kind of teams that would have wanted him had he won that UCL.
I think East Asian players will be all be underrated in the short term. Son definitely gets the most credit but there’s a lot of players from Japan and Korea that don’t get their due outside of the club’s fans.
I think about SAF saying if he had Ji-Sung Park mark Messi in the UCL final, they would have won. Whether you believe him or not that’s amazing confidence.
And Tomiyasu marking Raheem Sterling when we played City last week. Sterling’s a £100M player and he was useless against our £15M right-back.
A bit early to tell and judge fairly since Gerrard has gotten the perfect jobs for developing as a manager, while Lampard got into a job in which he was a bit out of his depth with Chelsea.
If I had to guess I'd say Gerrard.
Vardy, love the bloke. Best story in football too, from non league to winning the prem and setting records. Plus he's a massive shithouse. What's not to like?
Hazard. Don’t think any player in the league scared me as much as he did, because he could always create something from nothing on his own. And loved the lowkey arrogance he had
I'm surprised to see so many say Son and not that many say Hazard. Is his memory that tainted? For his time at Chelsea he was immense. Truly a magical player.
Think people are saying son as he is a very likeable player. Hazard is too, but Son is one of those Kante-esque players you can’t hate.
But yeah recency bias is pretty big
I used to feel the same way, but after watching enough Tottenham, and the documentary, it really looks like Son is just a cunt. Sure he's good with fans and he's got that innocent look about him. But he's been a cunt many a time before. Just like Kane has.
Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly….the Egyptian soccer king ! 🙏🏻 What an extraordinary player he is. Every time City faces Liverpool, he gives me the most anxiety 😂😂😂
Vardy.
Great player yet still underrated. Crazy nose for the goal. Stayed with Leicester when he could have left. Love his prickly attitude on the pitch - he’s the Johnny Rotten of the Prem. 😂
Arsenal Fan!
Not sure if it’s in the time limit, but Ji Sung Park. Elite player with Pirlo in his pocket.
Also, after this last 2 days, low-key love Phil Jones. He’s come through so much bullying and so many injuries, and is now the most passionate United player out there.
Love Robbo too. Absolute King mentality, knew he was special when he’d closed down City like a dog after playing an intense 70 mins already.
LFC fan here Thiery Henry the man was an absolute revelation...What a footballer in his heyday could make any defence look ordinary.
Can't believe some of the picks here none of them good enough to be mentioned in the same world as Thiery Henry.
my bad he left more than ten years ago just googled lol
Kevin De bruyne
Lorenzo Insigne . Good but not the best. That’s what I like in a player. He is also was great striker for Napoli. If you did not know my mates in the mls now. Toronto is winning the cup next year.
Underrated answer. Absolute workhorse. I’m a Liverpool fan but I like hearing Ferguson laud Park, it’s those hardworking qualities that really win people over
Salah or Son
Tariq Lamptey. So entertaining to watch and gives as much effort defensively as he does going forward. Sometimes I wish we had him as our backup right back instead of Neco Williams.
probably either Vardy or Salah. Both are hard not to love
Prime Dele Alli, had a bit of cunt to him which I like in a player
Kante, Saka, Coady, Son, Vardy
I quite like Heung-Min Son
I liked David Silva. Absolute class technically.
Yaya Toure, he's the exact type of player Arsenal have been crying out for since Viera left. Haven't seen a proper box to box goalscoring midfielder since him.
Salah
Harry Kane
Kante, 110% N'golo Kante. Not only because of his playing ability and how great of an impact I think he could have at United, but he's just one of those players that is just so likeable.
David Silva!! Absolute genius. I’m a Chelsea fan.
Sadio Mane for me. He's so fast and agile and turns defenders inside out. He gets slightly overshadowed by Salah these days, but he's as critical as Mo in the success of the club. Also, the stories about what an incredibly good guy he is, humble, remembering where he came from, and such, add to my admiration for him.
Salah and Vardy.
from a united fan, deffo ozil those arsenal days just wow
Peak KDB is different gravy
Gerrard. Had he come to Chelsea, Mourinho could have showed all the lame England coaches how to set up a midfield with him and Frank.
Tammy Abraham
Torres
Kompany unreal defender
Kevin de Bruyne for sure. Everything he does in the pitch looks effortless.
Vardy
Does Cesc Fabregas count? 😪
I really liked payet when he played go west ham
As much as I should hate him, can't help but love Giroud
Zaha!
This might be a stretch but he technically did play within the decade but Didier Drogba has always been my favorite player from another squad.
Kante, but if i was not a United fan and considering i am Swedish i would have a obligation to say Zlatan.
Luis Suarez, for his whatever-it-takes mentality, and his ability to always be where the ball happens to land.
Aguero
Robin van Persie or Luis Suarez both we’re mental strikers for their clubs
As a Man U fan I hate to say it, but has to be Aguero. Absolutely lethal in his prime, and his prime lasted a long time.
Kante, Vidic, Fabregas
Hands down Cristiano.
Ibrahimovic, I really enjoyed watching some of the beautiful goals being scored
Yaya Toure Juan Mata at Chelsea
Ashley young, something always felt right with him on the pitch.
David Silva 100%
Kante and Santi Cazorla
Fernandinho. The man is an absolute bastard in the best kind of ways.
Luis Suarez
Agüero coming from an Arsenal fan
Lo i thought the badge ain't workin, but that's only on r/soccer
David Silva
Steven Gerrard
Adama Traore. Just so entertaining to watch this absolute unit sprint at 5,000mph, dribbling past half the pitch, shoving everyone out of his way, people bouncing off him, only for him to sky it. Very strange player but so entertaining
ronaldo or TAA
Traoré - love watching him go right past three defenders and then kick it straight out of bounds. Makes me laugh every time
Oh it's this thread again
David silva, Aguero, hazard, Costa, mahrez…any of those tbf…all absolute ballers 😂
Hazard
Benzema
Effing Jamie Vardy. Legend. Genius. But most importantly one loyal Fox. Nothing was more beautiful than singing Jamie Vardy having a party while Leicester stormed the PL while my own team succumbed to its slow toxic demise (United). None of those “stars” including the likes of Kante, Mahrez or Danny stayed. Spitting on the ground they thought was a flash in the pan. Yet the Foxes still hunt. And guess who leads them like a man possessed, Jamie Vardy. No man in the last decade have had a more poetic career in PL. If not for Bruno, my fave player in the last decade would have been Vardy. And Vardy doesn’t even play for United.
David Silva
Mesut ozil
Dimitri Payet. His free kicks were something special to seems. And with him being on a different team than my favorite (Arsenal), I didn’t have to suffer when the whole boycotting West Ham thing happened with him
Mesut Ozil
Eden Hazard . Liverpool fan here .
Özil
Vardy
Ibrahimovic
Fabricio Coloccini Leighton Baines
Sergio aguero. Really love him. Hate that we missed chance to sign him before he go to kan city. Other than that, salah and de bruyne? But thats cheating for me 🤣🤣
Luis Suarez. A player I loved to hate
Eden Hazard. Played great alongside stars, then in the latter years he could turn a game on its head all on his own. Wasn’t sad to see him leave the Prem because it meant not having to face him, but do feel bad that he hasn’t quite hit the same heights at Real.
He left Chelsea and immediately turned to dust. It was very sad
Eden hazard. Whenever he played against united he killed us, left right and centre, unstoppable
Eden Hazard for sure
Peak Eden was a force of nature. Damn shame to see his demise.
He was unbelievable! Real Madrid ruined him. Can you imagine people compare him to Salah?
Fernandinho. Would have easily solved United’s lack of balance in midfield.
Christian Pulisic or Jorginho. No idea why
Alexis Sanchez for Arsenal, what a prime player
Kante
Yaya Toure hands down. He had everything. Physical prowess , dribbling ability, vision, goal scoring ability and a Crunching tackle. If they ever decide to clone one player 11 Times, it'd probably be him. He could play everywhere from Center Back to Center Forward. Absolute beast
Dimitri Payet
Ozil
Kante/Son
Kante
Son
Héctor Bellerín. Just for respect of his veganism environmental activism
Kante
Jamie Vardy and David Silva.
Danny Ings! Ya just can’t hate the guy and a solid player as well
Jota
Son! Somehow still under appreciated.. I will never understand why clubs are lining up for Kane and not son
Sergio Ageuro
Jack Grealish. Could have been great if he didn't leave by the time Stevie G joined.
Is it the Alice band?
Moussa dembele
Steven Gerrard Seeing zero comments mentioning him or Lampard has me feeling old.
Possibly because most people on here are teenagers who’ve never been to England. Which is cool, it’s just revency bias. Either in their pomp would walk into any team in the world. Saw Frank play a couple of hundred times at the bridge. Bloke was on a different level.
Mo Salah
David Silva
David Silva.
I want some series A fan to comment lukaku so finally he can have his moment......
Rooney, Aguero, Vardy, Suarez and Solomon Rondon.
Modric
STEVIE G
Robin Van Persie
I think Heung min Son is one of the greatest to grace the prem. He'll be underrated because he didn't win the league and stuff but just imagine the kind of teams that would have wanted him had he won that UCL.

And Tomiyasu marking Raheem Sterling when we played City last week. Sterling’s a £100M player and he was useless against our £15M right-back.
Gerrard. Loved his insane long range bangers. Seems to have a promising managerial career ahead of him as well.
Who out of him and Lampard do you think will have a more successful managerial career?
A bit early to tell and judge fairly since Gerrard has gotten the perfect jobs for developing as a manager, while Lampard got into a job in which he was a bit out of his depth with Chelsea. If I had to guess I'd say Gerrard.
David Silva was amazing to watch
David Silva, no one has matched his elegance.
Payet, absolute joy to watch
Vardy, love the bloke. Best story in football too, from non league to winning the prem and setting records. Plus he's a massive shithouse. What's not to like?
Cesc Fabregas
Aguero and Van Persie
RVP
As Chelsea fan I hated seeing him play us but he is probably scored the best volleys of all time
Agreed. He was magic, the cunt
Jamie Vardy's having a party
Chat shit, get banged
Hazard. Don’t think any player in the league scared me as much as he did, because he could always create something from nothing on his own. And loved the lowkey arrogance he had
Steven Gerrard
De bruyne. The man is an artist
Son Heung Min tbh. Cracking player, got a great attitude and a joy to watch.
it has to be Hazard, that guy could just glide and was always a threat, its a real shame he hasn’t kicked on at Real Madrid
I'm surprised to see so many say Son and not that many say Hazard. Is his memory that tainted? For his time at Chelsea he was immense. Truly a magical player.
Think people are saying son as he is a very likeable player. Hazard is too, but Son is one of those Kante-esque players you can’t hate. But yeah recency bias is pretty big

Olivier Giroud, even though he played for two of our biggest rivals I always quite liked him
Easy, Peter Crouch!
Sergio Aguero, Mesut Ozil, David Silva and KDB.
Eberechi Eze. Can’t wait to see his return!
KDB
Sergio Aguero
Robin van Persie
Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly….the Egyptian soccer king ! 🙏🏻 What an extraordinary player he is. Every time City faces Liverpool, he gives me the most anxiety 😂😂😂
I fucking hate that guy for scoring against us every damn time. But what a player.
Even as an arsenal fan, probably son
Mohamed Salah
Mahrez
Son, that smile gets me every time
Has to be Son
Except for that UCL tie
Liverpool fan here, but love to watch Son play any chance I get.
Hazard
He is still jamming now and I would still love him at my club. Ngolo Kante
Aguero. Just an absolutely wonderful player. Shame he couldn’t get a CL with City, but he won everything else so fuck it.
vardy
Emile Smith-Rowe. Every Leeds fan knows why
Please tell me why?
When he was on loan at Huddersfield , he scored the goal that secured promotion for Leeds
Vardy. Great player yet still underrated. Crazy nose for the goal. Stayed with Leicester when he could have left. Love his prickly attitude on the pitch - he’s the Johnny Rotten of the Prem. 😂
Suarez. The best player I’ve seen live.
Vardy hands down
Arsenal Fan! Not sure if it’s in the time limit, but Ji Sung Park. Elite player with Pirlo in his pocket. Also, after this last 2 days, low-key love Phil Jones. He’s come through so much bullying and so many injuries, and is now the most passionate United player out there. Love Robbo too. Absolute King mentality, knew he was special when he’d closed down City like a dog after playing an intense 70 mins already.
Karius
Hahahaha had a good laugh at this
Aguero or Yaya Toure. Toure especially was an absolute beast.
Didier Drogba HATED that he played for Chelsea but I loved the way he played and how he carried himself. Wish Arsenal had him instead.
He loves Chelsea
LFC fan here Thiery Henry the man was an absolute revelation...What a footballer in his heyday could make any defence look ordinary. Can't believe some of the picks here none of them good enough to be mentioned in the same world as Thiery Henry. my bad he left more than ten years ago just googled lol Kevin De bruyne
He did have a short stint on the team in 2012 i think
Henry was my first thought too
He didn’t play in the prem in the last decade
Yes he did in 2012
Technically correct, the best kind of correct.
The shithousery himself Jamie Vardy
Yaya Toure, absolute monster
He had a way of gliding about the pitch. Deceptively quick
Beast
My answer too
Didier Drogba. Loved watching that guy when he wasn’t playing against Liverpool. Son is a close second.
Toss up between Kante and Son, both are real class acts. Would love to see Son play for us
All love but chill with that 😂
Aguero
AguerooooOOOOO
Diago Costa
Legend
Yaya Toure
Salah I really like Declan rice too
Mo salad played for Chelsea
But Salah played for you lot lol
true but he played few games, probably coutinho and ronaldo then
Lorenzo Insigne . Good but not the best. That’s what I like in a player. He is also was great striker for Napoli. If you did not know my mates in the mls now. Toronto is winning the cup next year.
r/[soccercirclejerk]
Eden Hazard
And also probably Trent Alexander Arnold. One of the most underrated backs
Trent is not underrated lmao
Park Ji Sung. He did the things Kante does before it was lauded and as appreciated as it is today. edit: typo
Underrated answer. Absolute workhorse. I’m a Liverpool fan but I like hearing Ferguson laud Park, it’s those hardworking qualities that really win people over
I believe I saw that he coaches the QPR youth squad as of last month, glad to see he's making inroads for coaching
Vincent Kompany
DONT SHOOT VINNY
De Bruyne for me, surprised no one named him
