Roy Keane and Micah Richards' frank disagreement on Manchester United's Treble compared to Man City

Roy Keane and Micah Richards disagreed on their comparisons between the Treble-winning Manchester United side of 1999 or the current Manchester City team who could match that feat this season.

United won the Treble in the memorable 1998/99 campaign. They clinched the Premier League crown and beat Newcastle United in the FA Cup final. And of course, they came from behind in the legendary Champions League final of that year in the Camp Nou against Bayern Munich. Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stoppage-time strikes ensuring a 2-1 comeback victory and the Treble being secured.

City have already claimed one third of that with the Premier League crown. Their fifth title in six seasons was confirmed after second-placed Arsenal suffered a 1-0 loss on the road to Nottingham Forest.
