Who has been United's best penalty taker?

Who was the coolest in those circumstances? Which Red was the most reliable? Who would you put your house on not failing from 12 yards out?

There have been some heroes from the spot in the past, not to mention those who kept their heads in shoot-outs (yes, Moscow in 2008 leaps to mind). But, thanks to @OptaJoe, we have statistical proof as to our best penalty takers in the Premier League.

ERIC CANTONA - 14 out of 16 (87.5%)

'King Eric' only ever missed twice in the league, against Blackburn Rovers and former club Leeds United and, on both occasions, he went on to score later in the match.
