The Class of ’92 is a group of six Manchester United youth team players from the early 1990s who went on to have significant success with the club.
Manchester United’s academy is well-known throughout the football world for generating some of the best talent in the club’s history. They’ve had some incredible players emerge from the program.
Marcus Rashford, Mason Greenwood, Kobbie Mainoo, and Alejandro Garnacho have all emerged in recent years, but they are not yet on par with the players that Sir Alex Ferguson developed.
They are known as the Class of 1992. Let us meet the Manchester United lads.
David Beckham
The inaugural member, David Beckham, went on to become one of Manchester United’s greatest number sevens.
Beckham ended up playing 394 times for the Red Devils, scoring 85 goals and becoming a club icon.
He is also one of the most well-known football players in the world due to his off-field success.
Nicky Butt
Nicky Butt was also a member of the Class of ’92 and was severely underappreciated as a player.
Butt made 387 appearances for Manchester United’s first team, scoring 26 goals and providing 21 assists.
He is probably the least well-known of the six, although he was an important part of United’s setup for many years.
Ryan Giggs
Ryan Giggs went on to become the most capped and decorated Manchester United player in history, playing for the club until the age of 40.
Giggs played 963 appearances for United over 23 years, scoring 167 goals and assisting 262 times.
It’s a shame his off-field antics have tarnished his reputation as a very exceptional footballer.
Gary Neville
Gary Neville has become a familiar figure at Manchester United, both on and off the pitch. The right-back spent his entire career around Carrington.
He appeared 602 times, scoring seven goals and assisting 46, while collecting nearly every award under the sun. Neville was also a top-tier player, even if he does not believe so.
Neville now works as a pundit and analyst, providing candid appraisals and analysis of the current Manchester United side.
Phil Neville
Phil Neville is commonly referred to as Gary’s ‘brother,’ yet many people forget what a valuable asset Phil was to Manchester United during his prime.
He appeared 381 times in red, scoring eight goals and assisting twenty. He later joined Everton, where he spent the rest of his career.
It’s not often that you can say you won the Premier League, Champions League, and FA Cup all in the same season with your brother!
Paul Scholes
Paul Scholes, arguably the most talented of the six, went on to become not only a United icon, but also a game legend.
Scholes played 216 games, scoring 155 goals and assisting 82 times. He is largely recognized as one of the best midfielders to have ever played the game.
He, like Neville, has turned to punditry after his retirement, frequently lamenting the current situation of Manchester United.
