Red Devils the real deal, says Rooney

WAYNE ROONEY has no problem with Manchester United being accused of lacking fantasy if they end up emulating the 1999 treble winners.

Alex Ferguson is getting irritated by the claim his present squad are sub-standard compared to those from years gone by if his comments in the programme notes for Tuesday night’s Champions League win over Marseille are any guide.

Even in defeat, Marseille boss Didier Deschamps remains adamant this Red Devils outfit are a pale imitation of those from days gone by.
