Manchester United have been heavily involved in the Premier League’s 23-man Hall of Fame shortlist

Now, there are certain names missing from the 23-man shortlist which are bound to raise a few eyebrows. But at the end of the day, no list can be absolutely perfect and the Premier League have done a good job here.

Now, it remains to be seen which six will be picked by the fans. Although, it is worth pointing out that players from the more globally popular clubs will always have a better chance of being voted in when it comes to fans.

Thus, hopefully the Premier League do have a plan in place moving forward so that those that did not represent the ‘traditional big six’ also have a chance to make it into the Hall of Fame.

One thing is for sure though, this is a great step to honour and remember the legends of the game, who have helped build the Premier League into the global phenomenon that it is today.
