You can pretty much guess what Manchester United's best team is (unlike Liverpool) except for the midfield. Van Der Sar is in goal. The defence is Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra with Rooney and Tevez upfront. But what about the midfield? There is so much talent to pick from, the only player i would say is guarnteed a place is Ronaldo. So who are the other three?
~
The choices are:
Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, Giggs, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Park and Eagles.

Giggs and Scholes are getting older but they still have a massive part to play in the United team. Nani and Anderson joined United in the summer and they have surprised me how quickly they have settled down into the team.
Fletcher hasnt played much so far this season but when he has come in, he has played extremly well.
Everyone knows about Ronaldo, he in my opinion is currently the best player in the world.
For me, Park isnt good enough, he is a good player but i dont think he can play a big part, but i would love it if he could prove me wrong.
I havent seen as much of Eagles that i would like but what i have seen is that he can end up being a top player for United.
Hargreaves and Carrick are the same type of player and i dont think they can play together. They both like to stay back and protect the back for, out of those two Carrick is my favourite.

So my question was, what is currently the best midfield for United?
~
For me it is: Ronaldo, Carrick, Anderson and Giggs
~
I would like to see more of Nani and when Giggs retires i think that he could be a good replacement.

If you were Fergie, which midfield would you pick?

This is just "in general" as all of the players involved can have flashes of brilliance.
Ronaldo - Duh. Of course he's playing unless he is hurt or too tired to be effective. Then again, a tired Ronaldo is still better than most other players.
Eagles - I've seen him in 5 or 6 games. He's a hard worker that I would love to see more of to see if he can find more playing time. He's a "busy body". I liken him more to Park than anyone else.
Anderson - This kid should always play. If he could learn to bring his shot down and get it on target, he would be DEADLY. He gets 2 or 3 really good looks at the goal every game, but always goes WAY over with his shot. I love Anderson's tenacity and passing. He really should learn to use his right foot though.
Nani - another resounding YES. Can you believe the power that skinny frame can generate!?! He needs to work harder on making the right runs and supporting the attack and he will become a permanent part of the starting 11.
Giggs - I'm afraid he needs to retire. His shots don't have much zip on them anymore. I don't see him as creative as Nani or Anderson in breaking down the defense. He does make a good supporter on the attack because he's still fast, but I much prefer to see him running "north and south" versus "east and west" on the pitch.
Scholes - This is one crafty veteran. He should NEVER try to tackle, he's proven again and again he's not good at it. :) However when it comes to vision and passing, he's great on the attack. I'd love to see him stick around another year or two to teach the youngsters.
Fletcher - Every team has to have one overly hyper player like Fletcher. He's not a day in, day out player. He's great for a change of pace and to pump in some enthusiasm for the game for those fixtures that we're just having trouble staying focused for. You can tell Fletch just loves to play.
Park - "Three Lung" Park is by far the busiest guy on the pitch. He is one I would use more like Fletcher - when you need someone to infuse some enthusiasm. For all of his running, he doesn't seem to get into position to finish very often.
Carrick - When he's on, there is no better passer on the team. I think he defends well enough, but shys away from the real tough tackles. That's not to say he won't end up with the ball, his are more "surgical strikes" versus a bone crunching tackle.
Hargreaves - I think too much was made of bringing him in. I don't think it was a waste of time, but there was so much hype... For me, Hargreaves is one of the best holding mid-fielders in the game. Where Carrick wins the ball "carefully", Hargreaves just jumps in and takes it. Where they both occupy the same place on the pitch, you definitely want them there for different reasons.
So, all of that being said, my starting mid-field:
That Boy Ronaldo, Anderson, Scholes, Carrick.
Firstly, thank you for commenting it was great to read what you think. I have to say that i agree with everything you have said, there is nothing at all i can disagree with.
No matter who United play it is going to be an extremly good line up.
