Arsenal Kids Not As Good As United's Kids Of The 90s

Steve Bruce's Wigan side took a good hiding off the Arsenal kids this week, but despite this, Bruce still says they were outstanding and brilliant, but they have a long, long way to go before they come anywhere near the Manchester United youngsters who came pouring off the production line at Old Trafford in the 1990s.

Bruce was a senior player at Old Trafford when the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville emerged from the youth team to international stardom seemingly overnight, and, although his Wigan team were brushed aside by an Arsenal line-up with an average age of just 19 at the Emirates Stadium in the week, Bruce says they are not in nthe same class.

"I was fortunate to see all those lads come through at United, and whether they can be as good as them, and have as much success that they have had, you would have to doubt it, but they are an outstanding young team with unbelievably talented players, and we'll see. They get an unbelievable grounding under Arsene Wenger and for him to say that this crop is his best ever - that is some statement. Arsenal had a batch two or three years ago who are also all doing well, but whether they're going to do as well as the likes of Beckham and Scholes - it'll be a hard act to follow. But they have got the ingredients - that's for sure."

Personally, I think the 'kids' of '99 are Fergies second best ever team. The best ? .............that would be the team he has right now !!!!!!!!!!! .....Back To Home Page
