It was former Scottish international Gordon McQueen who once said: “Ask all the players in the country which club they would like to play for and 99 percent would say Manchester United. The other one percent are liars.”
It’s a quote that United fans wear as a badge of honour as it’s emblazoned on one of the thousands of different tee-shirts sold by the hawkers and peddlers who flog their wares on Warwick Road every match-day.
But either McQueen’s take on United is no longer valid - or there are an awful lot of liars playing the game at the moment.
