Disenfranchised United

I was watching the Wolves v Sunderland game this morning and got to thinking about how many players there are in the Premiership that have played at United and are still playing in the Premiership with other clubs.

So getting my anorak out here's what I came up with:
GK - Tim Howard (EVERTON)
RB - Phil Bardsley (SUNDERLAND)
CB - Ryan Shawcross (STOKE CITY)
CB - Wes Brown (SUNDERLAND)
LB - Phil Neville (EVERTON)
RM - Chis Eagles (BOLTON WANDERERS)
CM - Owen Hargreaves (MANCHESTER CITY)
CM - John O'Shea (SUNDERLAND)
LM - Gabriel Obertan (NEWCASTLE UNITED)
CF - Sylvan Ebanks- Blake (WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS)
ST - Louis Saha (EVERTON)

Bench
Ben Foster (WEST BROMWICH ALBION)
Danny Pugh (STOKE CITY)
Danny Higginbotham (STOKE CITY)
David Jones (WIGAN ATHLETIC)
Kieran Richardson (SUNDERLAND)
Carlos Tevez (MANCHESTER CITY) - FOR NOW!
Jon Obi-Mikel (CHELSEA) - Granted he never played for United but was signed to United before the Russian Mafia changed his mind.

I can't think of another Premiership club that would be able to put together a similar side but feel free to prove me wrong - oh and the impressive thing about the above squad of 17 is that 12 came from United Academy - a lot of home grown talent.
