I’d love to know how they became the biggest club side on the planet. Was it just the premier league years? Let me know SC historians.
They've won 71 trophies in total. Only seven teams in Europe have won more in the history. Five more if you count the whole world.

Well, that was... pathetic. They kept a team who didn't look like they were really trying that hard to score out for 70 minutes and then had a sort of half-arsed attempt at a bit of sporadic attacking in the last 10 minutes.

So 12 teams in the world have won more trophies? So I’m guessing it must be 30 odd trophies just in the fergie years. Were they huge before that? I mean from the 50’s to the 80’s. I guess a 40 trophy haul before fergie explains it. I’d be interested to know who the seven teams were. I’m thinking Barca and Madrid at the top but some Dutch teams in there as well. Not knocking them, just genuinely interested how they became the biggest club on the planet and whether it was the advent of the premier league that took them there.

so typical - Man Utd embarrassed out of europe, but it's OK, they can focus on the league 🙄

He's probably right. A mid-table slog against the Palaces of this world can be gruelling enough without the distraction of Europe.

Anyone else find Laura Woods super arrogant and annoying? She’s like a female Jake Humphries, TNT have replaced one twat presenter with another 🤣 she’s also flirting with everyone she presents with, it’s not very professional imo.

If that’s what you call flirting then you have issues 😂

Anything and everything pundits, do, say, wear or think is criticised on here :D

I'm half convinced some of you get a stiffy when doing it.

It's almost as pointless and tiresome as me moaning about it :LOL:

United going out of Europe - as seems likely - is probably for the best for them. It will allow them to marshal all their resources just in case they get sucked into a relegation battle.
Oh great. Now after West Ham we will have to listen to United fans on Jan 14th singing: "Knocked out of Europe. We know what we are"
