Position: Winger

4 domestic league titles, 5 domestic cups, 3 domestic league cups, 2 domestic super cups

Premier League Team of the Year: 95

Highs:
His time at Manchester United stands as the best in his career, being instrumental in breaking the team's 26 year fast of league titles.

Lows:
Having fallen out with manager Alex Ferguson, was unduly replaced with young starlet David Beckham. Unfortunately, as he was only 26 at the time, it meant his career was on the way down, at too much a young age, although his time at Everton was also personally successful (although the team wasn't).
