@jacoballenAlright football brains, here's a hypothetical for you. A graphic is going around comparing the 2008 Manchester United UCL final starting lineup under Sir Alex with Arsenal's 2025 lineup under Arteta. Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo, Scholes, Carrick, Hargreaves, Evra, Vidić, Ferdinand, Brown, Van der Sar vs Gyökeres, Martinelli and the rest. Who's winning this? #AlexFerguson
