Man Utd treble winner addresses prospect of Man City repeating their achievement

Former Manchester United hero Nicky Butt has heaped praise on Man City despite admitting he'll be "gutted" if they match their treble feat.

The former midfielder played a critical role in United's most famous season, starting their 1998/99 Champions League final with Bayern Munich following the suspension of Roy Keane. And amid one of his biggest ever individual displays, his team prevailed in the most dramatic fashion, thanks to injury time goals from Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

That feat has stood the test of the time, despite City coming close to matching it when they completed a domestic treble in 2018/19. But after Pep Guardiola's men took Arsenal apart on Wednesday night, and with a Champions League semi final and FA Cup final to come, there is a growing belief the Sky Blues can land all three trophies.
