  Every great Manchester United team has shared one common ingredient - each side throughout the Red Devils' illustrious history has had a touch of the Irish. Written by Chris Moore, this is a recognition of the invaluable contribution made by the Irishmen who have played competitive first-team football for Manchester United since the club was founded in 1878. One man's dream team, it is a personal selection of the best 11 Irish players who have appeared in Manchester United colours: from Harry Gregg in the 1950s Busby Babes; the world-class George Best who emerged in the 1960s along with full-back Tony Dunne; and Sammy McIlroy and Jimmy Nicholl in the 1970s; to the 1980s and the emergence of defenders Kevin Moran and Paul McGrath, along with Scouse buster extraordinaire, Norman Whiteside and top-class striker Frank Stapleton.
