Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has spoken about the players he would bring into the current team from the 1999 treble winning side.

The Red Devils famously won the Premier League, UEFA Champions League and FA Cup in 1998-1999 under the tutelage of Sir Alex Ferguson.

Solskjaer played a vital part that season, and scored the winner in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Given that team had the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Jaap Stam, Solskjaer is spoiled for choice.

"They were all unbelievable individuals in a fantastic team," Solskjaer told Sky Sports.

"There's some absolute top players there that you'd have skills and attributes for every single player - you'd want Becks' crosses, you'd want Giggs's dribbles, Jaap's dominance at the back, Ronny Johnsen's pace, Scholes's everything.

"You want every one of them, to be fair, but I've always said it and I have to say it again, if I choose one player: Roy Keane."

When asked what he'd add to the current team: "Everything he did.

"He was a leader, the way he played, the way he pushed everyone, I'd say Roy Keane."
