Surely Bruno ahead of 2008 Scholes sha.

I disagree. Scholes is the best English player since Paul Gascoigne

Illimitable:


Bruno and Pogba will get into the 2008 team. De Gea might actually start ahead of Van Der Sar.

The issue here is Pogba and Bruno would have raised their game by now because of the calibre of the players in the United squad as at then. Rooney or Ronaldo would give Bruno an earful if he misplaced a simple throughball. He wouldn’t make such a mistake again.

The current players can fück around because the manager is a weak fool that rewards failure coupled with the fact that the standards have dropped to the point that Maguire came from Leicester to captain United within a year or so.

At least we agree on one thing cheesy.

Good old days cee, good old days. cry

My view is that since we are doing a combined 11 surely we can't keep the same formation, we have to pick a formation that fits them best.

My combined 11

Der sar

Neville ..... Ferdinand ..... Vidic ..... Evra

Scholes ....... Carrick

Bruno

Rashford ..... Rooney ..... Ronaldo


For me, I will drop giggs and tevez(never really liked him, personal bias cheesy).

For the bench
I will drop kuzcaks and park, for de gae and pogba.

Martial will be training with the u18s. grin

Personal basis.

When has it not been personal basis? cheesy

He was suspended in the semis vs Arsenal...That suspension killed any chance we had because like Flamini in 2006 or thereabout, he was one of the best DM in world in that season...
Fletcher had a great tournament that year, but let's be honest Fletcher would not have made any difference against Xavi, Iniesta and Busquet in that Barcelona midfield. Fergie said after the that "we missed Fletch", a comment i didn't agree with. I remember that comment generated a lot of argument at the United forum back then, but the truth is Xavi in that midfield made Barcelona almost invincible. Barcelona struggled to replicate that tikitaka style after Xavi left......

Neville is a good crosser and his overlapping or underlapping runs contributed a lot to Beckham’s assists.

His runs distract defenders marking Beckham and concede space which Beckham needs to whip out a powerful cross into the box.

Neville might not be as athletic or pacy as the other options but he’s got loads of football intelligence you will find missing in Wan-Bissaka, Valencia, Brown, O’Shea etc.

Well, Barcelona would still have dominated possession but Fletcher would've been massive for us in midfield, his break up play that season was a huge plus for us...

De Gea of 17/18 was better than any goalkeeper United ever had in their history.

VDS can never win a golden glove with a defence unit consisting of Valencia, Jones, Smalling and Young.

VDS had the best defensive pair in Europe for 2 seasons at least.

Scholes was 34 then - a shadow of his former self. Alex Ferguson was silly to have started him in Moscow to be honest against the powerful Chelsea midfield trifecta.

Makelele, Ballack & Lampard taught Fergie a lesson in that second half. United were on the ropes for most of that half with Drogba hitting the post and Chelsea getting all the big chances.

Drogba’s red card gave all the advantage to United.

They were useless by then. Old age and the exertions of winning 3 in a row.

100% better.

The only goalkeeping skill VDS has over De Gea is commanding his box.

Peak De Gea beats him in distribution, agility, instinct, shot stopping, etc.

It’s not even debatable.

He’s not.

VDS had a very good defensive unit that covered his bum. There were many games in 08/09 that opponents didn’t take a shot on target at VDS & he ran away with the golden glove.

De Gea was making 14 saves per game at United - PL record.
