Everyone remembers Glazer’s famous Manchester United squad. So where are all these players now, and what are they doing? So, let’s find out what happened to the legendary Manchester United squad players of that time or the MU’s GOAT
Back in 2005, the Glazers increased their influence on Manchester United. Of course, the club’s fans did not like it since the British did not want the Americans to become the owners of the club and the negative scale, which grew into protests in the stadium and beyond, only grew.
Glazer’s Man Utd starting XI:
- Roy Carroll.
- Rio Ferdinand.
- Mikael Silvestre.
- John O’Shea.
- Wes Brown.
- Ryan Giggs.
- Darren Fletcher.
- Quinton Fortune.
- Alan Smith.
- Wayne Rooney.

Mikael Silvestre
In 2008, Mikael Silvestre stopped playing for Manchester United. In the same year, the player signed a contract with London’s Arsenal, but the player’s performance for this club did not work out.

Ryan Giggs.
Ryan Giggs is a Manchester United legend. After the youth team, he joined the main team of the Red Devils and spent his entire career at the club. Ryan was rightfully considered the record holder for the number of games played in the Premier League before Gareth Barry updated the record. After the end of his football career, Giggs received the post of assistant coach at Manchester United. In 2018, he became head coach of the Wales national team, but due to a scandal, he was suspended on 23 April 2021.

Alan Smith
Alan Smith was an outstanding player, and Manchester United had high hopes for the player, but in 2006, in an FA Cup match, he came on as a substitute in the last minutes of the game and suffered a severe leg fracture. After rehabilitation, he returned to the team but could no longer gain a foothold in the first team. So after three years at Manchester United, he moved to Newcastle United in 2007 and played there until 2011.
