Premier League managers have revealed their choices for the best team of the past decade, selecting six current or former Manchester United players.

This season's top-flight managers were involved in the voting. In a separate poll, they also named the Manchester United side of 2008 as the top team of the past 10 years.

MANAGERS' TEAM OF DECADE GK: Edwin van der Sar RB: Gary Neville CB: Nemanja Vidic CB: John Terry LB: Ashley Cole RM: Cristiano Ronaldo CM: Steven Gerrard CM: Paul Scholes LM: Ryan Giggs S: Didier Drogba S: Alan Shearer

This means Premier League managers don't know their football. Any such list not featuring Frank Lampard is worthy of being posted in the joke thread.

Vidic over Carvalho?

No Henry, Vieira, Cech or Lampard

[LDN Blue 7,903]

No Frank Lampard? Are you f*cking serious? Once again, England has under-rated the best performing midfielder in the last decade! Shameful..

Also questions Gary Neville's inclusion

It's a fucking disgrace! Scholes and Gerrard instead of Lampard...Shearer over Henry and Rooney? Well I guess they know their work...

[HRiver 1,512]

Steven Gerrard over Frank Lampard? Biggest football joke ever.

Big shame that Thierry Henry isn't included either. Imo, with Drogba a close second, he's the best ever striker in the league, let alone past decade.

Frank really should be in it so should Cech

[Madmax 9,219]

Friedel, Neville, Carvalho, Terry, Cole, Ronaldo, Lampard, Vieria, Giggs, Henry, Nistelrooy.

They always rated van der Sar higher then Cech

GK: van der Sar, RB: Neville, CB: Terry, CB: Dawson, LB: Cole, RM: Ronaldo, CM: Gerrard, CM: Lampard, LM: Giggs, ST: Drogba, ST: Shearer.

You can't have a team of the decade without Lamps. Plus, Dawson is better than Vidic and Ferdinand; much more hard-working and dedicated.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Cech

Sagna - Carvalho - Vidic - Cole

Makelele

Ronaldo - Lampard - Giggs

Henry - Bergkamp

How's everyone forgotten about Maka? :unsure:

Naah mate, Vidic is a force. Only downside is that he's playing for United

Why are you surprised? I thought we all are already used to see Frank Lampard being overlooked, nothing new really.

If there is a player who SHOULD be in this team of the decade, there is no doubt about Lampard. We all know that. But...

[Sheva. 5,373]

No henry and no Lampard.....haha now that's funny.

Couldn't agree more. Lampard is player of the decade if you look at the official stats by Opta. Lampard is better than Scholes, Gerrard and Giggs. Neville is only there cause he retired, sickening.

[Rambo 1,729]

No Henry?

[DYC. 7,542]

A Premier League team of the decade not including Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp..

Cech/VDS/Given

? - Campbell - Carvalho - Cole

Scholes/Viera- Maka/Lamps

Pires - Bergkamp - Giggs

Henry
