FULL MATCH Replay | Rooney & Ronaldo Star in 2007 Semi-Final | Watford v Man United

[@travm3978]

This was a delight to watch. It’s nice to watch these old games when you’re older and actually understand football. The formations, style of play and the fact that playing out from the back was a rarity.

Jjjj

[@hakimi26]

Indeed. Very direct, individual flare, so much more exciting. Miss those games. Nowadays, players often opt for safer passes (slow buildup) because the fact that dominating possession gives you a better winning chance (statistically).

Games moved on so much, this team would get killed off city

Yes I Would go with that to mate they where the best of times of course mate yeah I don't think we will see thack again mate because we just senpend money now we don't haveing any eny youth Players now with we need to get more youth Players now come on Utd 🔱🙏🔱💯👍 please ❤

[@qwerty11222]

Young rooney was ruthless and direct, not doing too much and only focused on scoring or assisting. Easily the best player on the pitch.

[@daudikisakye]

That United team from 1996-2001 and 2006-2011 were two of the best teams ever in the last 30-40 years. 96-2001 team won 5 PL titles in 6 years, first ever team to do a Treble, PL and FA Cup double in 1996, and all with 7 youth academy players in the squad of 15. 2006-2011: 4 PL titles in 5 years, 3 UCL finals in 4 years!

Evra at RB is an interesting choice. Fergie could've easily used Brown at RB and used Heinze and Rio as the CB duo. But this man's gamble always pays off more often than not
