Dwight Yorke insists Erling Haaland would not replace him in Man Utd 1999 treble team

Dwight Yorke Erling Haaland Andy Cole UEFA Champions League EPL Manchester City Manchester United FA Cup

Former Manchester United star Dwight Yorke believes Erling Haaland wouldn't make it into United's 1999 treble-winning team, with Yorke himself helping keep the Norwegian out.

Haaland has broken the Premier League goalscoring record this season, and also leads the way in the Champions League. His efforts leave Manchester City on the verge of an historic treble, matching the achievements of Yorke's United team before the turn of the century.

United left it late to make sure of their treble, wrapping up the Premier League title on the final day of the season and needing a stoppage-time winner in the Champions League final. City may yet find themselves in a similar position, with the added spice of United standing in their way in the FA Cup final, but Yorke stuck by his own colleagues when naming a combined XI.

Reading alone, together is all the rage at book doofs and reading parties. What makes it social?
It’s called a doof, but it’s actually all about quiet reading. There are beanbags, some chairs and a few shared tables, where readers sit (or lie) down and read their separate books. Maybe some music playing in the background. Book Doof’s founder calls it a social experience. But can people…
