The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 legend was full of praise for the Red Devils’ scintillating assortment of front-men and claimed that the current crop is even better than the class of ’08.
Kevin Keegan will surely be forgiven if he spoke ill of Manchester United, especially what he endured against the Reds during his time at Anfield and later in his managerial career when he was in charge of Newcastle United.
Sir Alex Ferguson and the then Magpies boss had a frosty relationship because of the Premiership title race and famously Keegan lost the plot in a television interview, claiming that he ‘would love it’ if Newcastle won the English top flight.
However, the ex-striker is a fervent admirer of the Old Trafford club’s frontline and went to claim that the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 and Javier Hernandez were better than what Ferguson had during the conquest of the UEFA Champions League
back in 2008.
Speaking to reporters, the tactician claimed that while the combination of Rooney, Ronaldo and Tevez was a sight to behold, the current trio were also capable of lifting the 19-time English champions back to their best and that quality at the helm was inherent
throughout the squad.
“When Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international
who is fourth-choice striker at the club – and you have an enviable set of attacking options,” said Keegan while talking to the media.
Continuing, he added that countering the old combo back in 2008 was not only difficult, but it was impossible if all three of them were firing on all cylinders.
“I managed teams against that Rooney-http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734-Tevez combination and it was tough going. You could keep one, maybe two, quiet but you ran out of quality players to mark them. You didn’t know which one would provide the threat on any given day. But you were
certain at least one would. And if it was a day when all three were on song – well you were in trouble,” the 61-year-old was quoted as saying while speaking to the press.
