Shame we didn’t get Klopp years ago.

Massively. He's just an all round decent guy from all sides.

Solskjaer is better anyway. How many Norwegian league titles has Klopp won?

Exactly.

Guy: Aaron can I borrow a Euro?

Wan-Bissaka: Sorry I've only got Sterling.

i'd have a midfield of Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Andrea Pirlo

I would swap Pirlo for Zidane. Pirlo is a poor man's Paul Scholes imo.

I would be tempted for a french midfield with Viera, Zidane and either Makelele or Kante. Maybe Keane instead of Makelele/Kante.

Pirlo was done and dusted by his early to mid 30's. Scholes was near enough 40 and had to be brought out of retirement to win a league. Please do not let your hatred of United blinker you to how much of player Scholes was. Pirlo also played his entire time in the Italian league which even in 00's was a poor league.

omnomnom · 30 Mar 2020 at 20:17

You didnt see the Milan team early 2000s then?

Shamikebab · 30 Mar 2020 at 20:48

Scholes didn't really play anything like Pirlo until the end of his career. They were very different types of midfielder in their peak.

robfosters · 30 Mar 2020 at 20:52

Vieira for a quid is bargain of the century

Hive · 31 Mar 2020 at 10:36

I'd have Keane and Viera together, because they'd basically scare the **** out of anyone. I'd then probably have Zidane and keep the change

McBain · 31 Mar 2020 at 12:13

Zidane is one of the best players I've ever seen, totally different category of player compared to Pirlo imo. Pirlo was great don't get me wrong, but there are levels and Zidane was at the very top as far as the greatest ever players are concerned. Top 5 for me.

Keane, Zidane and De Bruyne.

NokkonWud · 31 Mar 2020 at 14:06

Riquelme, Gerrard and Lampard all cost more than Keane and Vieira?

Not hard to build a great team with £6!
