Amongst other things, the one thing that I admired the most about Ferguson, which is probably covered in number 1, was his ability, as a manager, whether it be through fear, respect, whatever, to instill hunger and desire into players who had already been massively successful year on year.
It was in stark contrast to some at our club, at that time, who thought simply by signing for Liverpool, picking up decent money, they had arrived, and somehow had already acheived something, without actually picking a trophy up.

That was exactly what Keano's MUTV rant was about.

That was pretty much the conclusion of Gary Nev, about the money in the modern game and the demand for instant success.

Barca had a similar crop to the class of 92 to be fair. They're the only examples i can think of though.

LVG's Ajax side as well.

Ah yes, forgot about that side. Funny that LVG introduced most of Barcas famous crop to the first team as well.

i think there is a sort of pc niceness to the likes of rashford, mctominay, pogba or lingard that will be a problem for us. they are all just too nice, you would be happy for them to be dating your daughter.

Didn't Iniesta recently say LVG had the biggest influence on his career?

A great bit in there about Scholsey being put in the clothes dryer as part of the initiation process.

And another great bit about Robbo nailing someone in an A Team game for raking his studs down one of the players shins.

Even as an Arsenal fan who truly hated that group of players during their United playing days I absolutely love the film.

You can't watch it and not crack up at the personalities and quirks while hugely admiring their desire, commitment and will to win.

I think you’ll find it’s quite possible

Interesting that it was the Class of '92 who put a stop to the "beasting" rituals that appeared to toughen them up as players and as men, I suppose they wouldn't get away with it now but the United dressing room in the early-to-mid 90s seemed like a bear pit.

why are you always so bitter?

Good Article VC. Unrelated to the class of 92, some interesting comments about LVG. It was one thing I really admired about him. He had a real passion for bringing youth through and in the context of MU52s article he "got us" as a club.

Easy with hindsight but he felt like he was the right manager at the wrong time. A lot of us could see what he was doing but felt he didn't have the correct players or the players just didn't get it. Of course partly his own fault. It's possible if we had him straight after Sir Alex, we would have been in the perfect position after his 3 years
