The greatest midfielder in the history of the Premier League? Lampard, Viera, Gerrard, Keane or Scholes perhaps. You'd have to think it's between those five.
Man United fans were lucky enough to have seen two of those together and they saw an awful lot of success because of it. There's no doubting the importance of a quality central midfield and that something that Roy Keane himself would attest to.
Speaking at a fundraiser for Waterford United on Thursday night, Keane was asked about Man United's current struggles and he puts a lot of it down to the fact that they are bereft of a quality central midfielder.
His advice echoes that of countless United fans the world over.
I think that United should sign Paul Pogba for they need a presence and physical player in midfield. Pogba knows the league, is big and strong and is playing brilliantly for Juventus.
People say United can't get Pogba but they should try.
Fair enough, Pogba would be an great addition, if unlikely. What about another one of the top Premier League midfielders? In an ideal world, would Keane like to see Steven Gerrard in a Man United shirt?
No, we want to try win something.
Harsh, very harsh.
