Former Manchester United striker Andy Cole has insisted that Casemiro and Marcus Rashford would "definitely" not have made it into the club's famous 1999 treble-winning team.
Cole was an integral part of the team which won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Champions League in one season under the stewardship of the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson. And while the 51-year-old is pleased that United are back on the right track under new boss Erik ten Hag, he has disputed claims that some of the current playing squad would have been good enough to star during that golden period.
Several of United's current stars, including Casemiro and Rashford, who is the club's leading goalscorer, have earned plenty of plaudits for driving this year's revival.
