Andy Cole "couldn't give a f***" about Erling Haaland feat in staunch defence of Man Utd treble

Being removed from the record books by Erling Haaland's super season doesn't seem to bother Andy Cole - but seeing Man United's treble winning team compared to Pep Guardiola's Man City definitely does.

After signing from Newcastle for a then considered huge fee of £7 million in 1995, Cole scored 121 goals for the Red Devils in a spell that yielded five Premier League titles, two FA Cup wins, and the Champions League. And included amongst it was the 1998/99 campaign that has since gone down in football folklore, with United winning an unprecedented treble.

But it was Cole's 1993/94 campaign with the Toon Army that represented his best as an individual. The former England man struck 34 times, a record previously shared with Alan Shearer until Haaland smashed in 2022/23 - striking 36 times.
