Let me point out Fergie stated this after seeing them all during there prime and was before he could be blinded by loyalty personal bias etc
Sir Alex Ferguson has hailed Roy Keane as his greatest ever player ahead of Tuesday's testimonial for his former captain, who brings his new team, Celtic, to Old Trafford. It will be Keane's first return to the club since November, when he departed under a cloud after criticising his team-mates, but United still expect a record attendance in excess of 70,000 for a player Ferguson clearly still admires. "People ask me why I say Roy Keane is the best I ever had," said Ferguson. "Would I say he was better than Eric Cantona, Paul Scholes, or Ryan Giggs? He wasn't as talented as them, nowhere near. "But his obsession with winning and the demands he put on other players made him the most influential player in the dressing room. And he became a great captain through that. That's why he was my best player. He was fantastic. "Decades from now, when they pick the best United midfield, Roy Keane, will always be there."

Fergie talking on sky sports in the 2004
He is my best player. It's not just the quality of his game, it is also his influence and great determination. There are a lot of parts to making a great player - he has fulfilled them all." Van the man on Keane Roy will always be remembered as the greatest player who's played for the club. His leadership and quality of play and his character will always be within us, because I worked with him and trained with him for four and a half years and he was the best player I ever played with David Beckham talking to PA Sport on Keane's departure from Manchester United He is a player who will lead from the front and get a team going. He is also a player who will tell you when you have done something wrong and something right. You know where you stand with him, he'll tell you in his own special way. I think he had one of the biggest impacts on a club anyone could have. The players responded to him in every game. I am shocked he has left because I thought he would be there for a few more years, but he has made his decision and everyone will respect that. People now have to look at what he has done with Manchester United because in the last 12 years he has won everything there is to win in club football. He has done it, gaining respect from so many players that he has played with and against.” Former midfield adversary and ex-Arsenal player Patrick Viera in December 2008 when asked name the best player he ever played against For me, being in England for nine years, I would have said Roy Keane Bobby Charlton as a player and a competitor [Keane is] the nearest I've seen in my lifetime to Duncan Edwards to put into perspective Bobby though Edwards was better then Pele Alan Hansen "[Keane] was in a class of his own in his peak...the best player the Premiership has seen Stam Keane is an incredible player, a real one-off whose name would be the first on the team-sheet of any side. It's not just the fact that he wins every tackle, or the way he can drive a team on with his powerful running, and snappy passing; with Roy there's something more, a desperation to win that drags the whole team with him" The feud between the Fergie and Keane may have soured Fergie view of him but it cannot change what has been said in the past

Of all time it's Best probably. In my lifetime it is Giggs or Gazza, but would go with Giggs.
Not biased or anything
