Rio. Argument for Keane too but that feels a bit harsh on Baleba who still needs time.

Denis Irwin

It was definitely Carrick. Park was praised a lot for his versatility and work-rate. Carrick did so much of the dirty work in a midfield pivot and also controlled the tempo so well. England would have had better results in major tournaments if he was at the base of their midfield and two of Scholes, Lampard and Gerrard starting ahead based on the opponents

Ruud van Nistelrooy. Best pure finisher in United's history. Of course based on what players did whilst they were at the club, so not Real Madrid Ronaldo.

Biggest what if, theres 3.....what if the FA didnt throw FA Rule34 under the bus, what if Murdoch bought us instead of Glazer, what if the EPL, FA and others served footballs best intrrests in 2005.

The Tevez one is interesting to me. We lost the 2009/10 title to Chelsea by a point. Tevez would almost certainly have made that up - and then some

Harry Maguire costs about £30m less and isn’t lambasted in the way he has been over the years.

Absolute rubbish Wayne is easily the best striker ever seen in the uk and during a spell when he was in the top 3 alongside renaldo and messi how can he be at 46. Sorry easy top 20 for me.

Whoever made that decision clearly doesn't watch enough football - surely deserves a higher ranking by somebody more knowledgeable

That’s crazy, in my mind he’s easy top 20

It's one thing saying you should have had them but when you didn't how can you celebrate it 14 years later, you can't, I don't want Utd to get more titles off City,but I do want City stripped of them because they didn't win them, the only good thing that Utd would get us at least it wouldn't be 13 years since our last title, but it papers over the cracks!!!

daviescallum424d ago

I think they should lose all their titles, but others shouldn’t be awarded them. Just null and void

adnan.riaz4d ago

I don't blame him for saying it. It's hard to accept in the circumstances. But Man City should be punished and their trophy should be struck off.

ericisgod663d ago

And that killed Rule34 and so ended over 100 years of protection from greedy investors znd owners, protection that was implemented for the fans too

ericisgod663d ago

I agree dale odonnell and i have been part of it since joining Shareholders in 2000. Got my 1 share when i joined. Had 11 when advised to sell. Kept all sorts of news electronic and hardcopy. Im not a journo but wrote a book about it released early 2023 recently updated to june 30 2026

dale.odonnell6d ago

For me, it’s the Glazers. I’ve been writing about their debt-ridden takeover since I got into journalism. Looking at the bigger picture, City have cheated the entire league and football pyramid. Europe too, even if they got away with that. It’s seismic. The difference here is the Premier League ignored the Glazer takeover. PL and the UK government.

Don't think they'll go to United or any team. As much as City deserve to be punished, getting those stripped off titles don't add to the legacy points of these teams or players.

leeclarke05087d ago

Nah can't start stripping titles off folks. They'll be tarnished forever anyway. Just deduct enough points to ensure Champ footy next season.

seanfisher7d ago

I can’t see titles officially being handed to other clubs. Although I do think City will be stripped of their achievements. But trying to crown another winner does get a bit murky. For example, you’d have to look at who City took points from in each season etc

rodstorey4d ago

Difference is City put illegal money in. Glaziers robbed MU of legal money, making the club poorer

ericisgod665d ago

Im not sure anyone will take United on. The value of the club has risen to Glazers would want more, then there is £2-4 billion for stadium, the total debt of £1.4 billion that they wont fix before they go. If they were to sell they would want between $6 and $10 billion so someone will need between $10.6 and approx $18 billion to put it right.

ericisgod665d ago

I stafted a Gofund me recently GROG- Get Rid Of Glazers. I did it in anger after The city loss.

jonny9d ago

With the news of United investigating losses due to City cheating, we might see our financial woes fixed if they are ordered to pay compensation. Reputational, direct prize money, commercial and sporting losses - all equals £200m at least I would say… no chance United stayed struggling if we won the league in 2018

Lacey overlooked over the weekend, Amass not getting a sniff, Mainoo nearly sold last season, Mctominay at Napoli, the 'we play youth' ethos is getting diminished every coming season, it's becoming the 'we sell youth far too cheap' ethos 🙄

eoin9d ago

They could certainly use him now. As confortable at left back as he is in the six, but dont think he would have got to that level if he stayed

freddie9d ago

Hind sight Yh, but would he really have been given the opportunity at his age back then?! Probably not!

plattysared54d ago

What a surprise Rashford isn't in our top 6, he's come back in, without deserving to do so, and he has contributed nothing, no goals, no assists, think back to last season & as we were cementing 3rd place, who wasn't there, yes Rashford, it's no coincidence, drop him, let him earn a place,because he won't, don't play him just because he gets paid the most!!!

louise.tipton729d ago

Where is Marcus Rashford? He alongside Mainoo have been the best by a country mile! What is wrong with you all? Rashford has been amazing and I cannot wait for him to score 💜

Man united need to change the backline reason ,u can't be with the same backline for over four years and u expect that they will change,more so they should use yoro to replace one and amass

adnan.riaz11d ago

It’s not impressive when you put it into the full picture. It shows how badly Man Utd have been run and the massive impact that the Glazers have had — the debt is more important than the revenue numbers.

george.patten11d ago

You get a trophy for that?

thetruthpersonified11d ago

Translation : Result! dividends and fat bonuses will be on the agenda soon.. Great we can still con you all to spend on us, despite us running the club into the ground. Soon you will all be able to fund a new stadium, which means no new players, but we know you can do it!! Dig deep suckers...

Amad and Baleba!

chris.matthews9911d ago

Just a thought, could this lack of energy/fitness be the aftermath of the world cup, players coming back at different times so all not the same condition ? Also when a player at the club gets injured, they are not out for a week it's months, is there a problem with the medical side of things.

lamekmek0811d ago

Yes I agree with him. I am of the same opinion. You have Mount, Zilkazi. Please don't start Tileman. Bring back Bruno in the midfield while waiting for Baleba waiting for Baleba

ken195312d ago

Neither can play the No6 role. Mainoo needs to be able to link defence and attack and Tielemans should be the back up to Bruno.

freddie12d ago

Absolutely agree. Said it from the start, good fee for Youri but there’s a reason why, he isn’t that good!

dancoombs10d ago

Stats also show Bruno has covered more distance than any other player 55km in league games

freddie12d ago

Is he losing interest? A Saudi move in January is what I’m worried about…

choolwepiouseliana12d ago

Generally, I think everyone is becoming slow and lack effectiveness pace to challenge for the ball. Senne, Ras and Kobbie making effortl. Football is now competitive than ever before. We can't win a matches before playing no matter which team. Are lacking fitness or commitment?

delyuzar8d ago

We failed to anticipate that will no longer have Casemeiro that for sure. Then the back has not been solid so far. And I hate to say if our players are lazy, the fact is very rate we see the movement without the ball they are all to predictable.

freddie12d ago

Defence is crap and thr midfield has no legs. When Baleba is fully fit it should sort out a little, but need some defensive reinforcements in January

amafuta12d ago

Carrick should have only picked one player to fill the Casemiro's role into last season's team. Rashford should have stayed on the bench & keep Cunha on the left. To my observation, this has unsettled the whole team & also adding that Mbeumo is not at his best, he should be benched for Lacey. No one except the captain maybe should be untouchable.

freddie12d ago

Money talks with Sir Jim!

barryhhd14d ago

I'm more against them playing Rashford every game when he obviously does not wanna be at the club , kits are your choice,,rashford is a disease

stephenjholmes115d ago

I hate to say it, but keep your wallet in your pocket. I haven't bought a shirt since the late 90's. There are people everywhere who have lots of money, and so will have cupboards full of shirts. I think all the different clothing ranges (stone roses) are money spinners. We have always had more kits when playing in Europe.

dale.odonnell16d ago

The only Carrick/Solskjaer comparisons that exist is that they both players for the club and managed the team. It stops there IMO. Two coaches with a different approach and personality as far as I can see.

pranav.shahaney17d ago

They’ve been questioned a while back. Most fans weren’t happy when he replaced Amorim either but he managed to get the results via a new manager bounce. Now is his real test and he’s failing so far

jameslloyd14.jl18d ago

Unbelievable they’ve fallen for the caretaker again. They keep trying to make a big swing to find their Arteta but there’s zero consistency to their approach. Because they’re United they think they have to get back to the top ASAP and skip the steps everyone else made to get to title challenging. It’s a new world
