Looking past the fact that United have Moyes, a shit squad, their 3rd best player cup tied etc. and we had Benitez, there's something else to consider. Our 05 squad may have had a few misfits, but it also had a peak Carragher, a close to peak Alonso and Gerrard, and a player in Luis Garcia who was capable of turning a match with moments of brilliance. United are a squad of young players with potential and formerly top class players who are past their best.
United aren't winning the Champions League.
