The Dutchman was better known for his defending and was a true fans' favourite during his three-season stay at Old Trafford.
After all, he helped the team win the Premier League in each of those campaigns and, of course, also complete the unprecedented Treble when overcoming Bayern Munich in a dramatic Champions League final at the Nou Camp.
During that unforgettable season, the Reds racked up a 6-2 win at Leicester City on 16 January.
Sir Alex Ferguson complained the team made life difficult for themselves in the first half but ended up winning in style, with strikers Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke in formidable form up front, scoring the other five goals between them (Yorke got a hat-trick, Cole a brace).
