Wayne Rooney has admitted that Manchester City's current squad would have had an edge over the Manchester United side he played for which won the Champions League in 2008. Rooney named four players of United's 2007-08 winning squad that would make City's current squad, notably omitting Cristiano Ronaldo.
He also claimed that the Red Devils would be similar to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool in recent years, able to beat Man City in one-off games but usually slightly behind them in the final league table. Rooney believes if Man City wins the Champions League and the title, they could be put up there with United's 1999 treble winners as the best Premier League team of all time.
