Ryan Shawcross was a former United player before moving to Stoke City in the year 2008 and then becoming the captain of the Potters.
Shawcross had joined United in the year 2002 and had hopes of playing in a successful United squad. However, the England International was not satisfied with the amount of game time being offered to him by Sir Alex and decided to leave Old Trafford.
The then Stoke boss Tony Pulis offered the current Stoke captain more game time and the opportunity to play week in week out. He joined Stoke initially on loan in 2007 and made the permanent switch to the Britannia stadium six months later.
The Stoke captain has been a mainstay for the club and has been one of the best defenders in the league in the last seven years. One of the most horrible moments for Shawcross was when he was red carded for a tackle on Aaron Ramsey, which left the Arsenal player injured for a long time. Shawcross, earlier in the week, admitted that particular incident still haunts him as a player.
Shawcross has an aim of playing around 500 games for his current club and only has nice things to say about his former boss Sir Alex. He stated that Ferguson has been in constant touch with him and congratulated the defender when he made his debut for the national team.
