These combined XIs always disrespect how important a specialist DM is. Can't ask Scholes/KDB to hold up a midfield like Keane or Rodri would.

Vidic was a two time EPL Player of the Year and the dominant player in the partnership with Rio. Y'all have forgotten how great he was.

One of the most civilised, calm and respectful combined 11 debates EVER… Until we got to the midfield discussion 😂 Love it

This was fantastic. Respect to both of them not arguing their teams players first for the sake of it

Flex and Steve being the rare examples of likable United and City fans

Maguire & Dunne for CB pairing for me, best finishers in the game

Vidic is criminally underrated period.

Everyone that played with Keane including Ronaldo said he was most important player and best captain and one of the best passers of the ball!

Finally its not Buvey. Thats a start 😂

Respect to Flex for that Silva Addition 😮

Can't believe Toure42 never got a mention, one of the most dominant players have seen in EPL. Kolarov, Vidic, Keane,Carrick, Evra..all massively underrated. I'm a Chelsea fan btw, just calling it how I see it.

Both Pep and Sir Alex is just the best of the best manager of all time, it probably the most difficult thing to choose for. Sir Alex have proven himself in longevity and Pep has proven himself in three different leagues. But yeah, even as united fans I can see that Pep is likely already surpassing Sir Alex in shorter time of his career, but yeah both are undoubtedly legend.

Flex is one of the only people that don’t come on and choose their own players 😂 Top voice in football

i think Alexander Kolarov had to be mentioned as the best Left back for Man City

Eric Cantona never lost a Manchester Derby, he destroyed city. 7 games (6 starts, 1 sub app on debut) 6 wins 1 draw 0 losses 8 goals 5 assists Scored in every start he ever made Vs City Cantona also has a miles better G/A per game ratio for United than anyone in our history, in fact, Cantona’s premier leagues G/A pg%, is 7th all time, behind only Haaland, Henry, Suarez, Salah, Aguero & Kane. Cantona was a goal creating machine.

Great to have big Steve represent us city fans! What a guy 💙

Keane not there is criminal, NEVER EVER saw this guy go missing in a game, most consistent player I've ever seen

Man said Clichy like Kolarov didn't exist 😢😂

Finally a guest duo that can see through the own team and not be 100% biased.

I think its impossible to pick an ultimate xi because all of them would win you titles in either team and it really depends on the manager and playstyle and wha he wants to do

Roy Keane was the tidiest centre midfielder in Premier League history. Passing round the corner, breaking lines with through balls, first touch passing. Forget about leadership etc, Keane was unreal. He was a British record signing, and in the late 90s Juventus and Bayern Munich both desperately tried to sign him in the late 90s…he was seen as a truly elite midfield player and passer by the finest teams in Europe at the time.

and keane played as a box to box his early career only defensive mid in later years keane assisted scored and helped dominate games

Great show guys! Lively chat around a really interesting theme!

My eleven is: GK: Peter Schmeichel RB: Gary Neville CB: Rio Ferdinand CB: Nemanja Vidic LB: Denis Irwin CDM: Roy Keane M: Paul Scholes M: David Beckham LW: Ryan Giggs CF: Wayne Rooney RW: Eric Cantona And I´m a LIverpool fan.

100% correct on Stam. Peak Stam was incredible, had everything.

The fact that beckham hasn’t even been mentioned it unbelievable

Peter Schmeichel also played from the back...with his hands...he woukd start counteracts. Alan Hansen used to comment about it all the time.

Sir Alex Ferguson did it with Aberdeen, the last Scottish team to win the title other than celtic and rangers, last team to beat Real madrid in a european cup final. He did it with United who did not win a title in 26 years before him. SAF was also outspend by 6 other teams in 90s. Pep guardiola did it with Barca's treble winners the year before, Bayern's treble winners and City who won the prem a year before. You judge.

*My Combined XI:* Schmeichel 🇩🇰 Irwin 🇮🇪 Vidic 🇷🇸 Kompany 🇧🇪 Walker 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Keane 🇮🇪 Scholes 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 KDB 🇧🇪 Giggs 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Rooney 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Ronaldo 🇵🇹

Nemanja Vidic casually winning 2 PL player of the seasons and not even being in the conversation 💀 Btw Henry, Ronaldo and De Bruyne are the only other players to have 2 and they would make all time PL squads but were pretending Vidic doesn’t even make the Manchester combined squad 💀💀💀

Just watched the Chris MD video and massive respect to y'all I thought y'all were just those guys who sit and talk about football y'all are ballers🔥🔥

schmeichel vs ederson is not tough.. schmeichel is one of the greatest keepers of all time and ederson is just pretty good.. ederson didn't change goalkeeping, pep did and there's plenty who can play out from the back now they decided that is an important quality.

CR7 has to be there. GOAT 🐐

Why do they insist on putting fans on that don't have a clue about football. Ryan Giggs has the most Premier League assists of all time and they are leaving him out for Silva 😂

Saying this as a neutral. Fergie took a team that hadn’t won the league in 20 years and turned them into the biggest club in the world with limited resources compared to Pep. Pep took a team that had underperformed for a season and a half, but before that was the best team in England, he had near unlimited resources, and made them into the best team in the world. Fergie did more with less.

rondri needs to be on there icl, one of the best midfielders ive seen and im not even a city fan

United fan lost all credibility after leaving out Nemanja Vidic, the best centre back to ever play in the Premier League.

Very kind from the lads doing an all time eleven

Schmeichel, Walker, Kompany, Vidic, Irwin, KDB, Scholes, Rodri, CR7, Aguero, Rooney, and SAF(it's a premier league team after all)

If only it could always be these two whenever it is United or City related.

People forget the Giggs from 17-26 when one of the best players in the world who also worked hard

Giggs would be in most people's argument for best premier league xi period and this guy is trying to keep him out of a Manchester xi

rodri vs keane 🤣🤣🤣 mad discussion specially after rodri's name was there 🤣

I think it depends on which system under Sir Alex kean all day but under Pep Rodri. Personally id have. Schmeichel Walker Vidic Rio or Kompany 🤷🏼 Irwin Scholes Rodri KDb Silva Ronaldo Aguero With Pep as manager.

Man got a point. Roy keane seeing red every other game in current era

That combined team is bomb 🔥🔥

This was brilliantly respectful of each team and players. So many of these types of discussion are pointless; not today. I am constantly told Ronaldo played in midfield breaking up play with Scholes. Bit miffed.

I want to see Keane's reaction at Steve's comments😂

Feel like this combined 11 happens every other year

No vidic is wild tbh

During there playing careers i feel like most people would have said Vidic was better then Rio however in retirement the sentiment has shifted and somehow Rio is better the Vidic. I dunno i still prefer Vidic but it dont matter too much there both legends.

Silva over Giggs on the Left is a madness.......YNWA

In 20 years, not many people will remember Rodri, 20 years on from Roy Keane and everyone is still talking about how he is one of the best midfielders to play in England

I can’t believe it they left out Roy Keane shocking

out of the players that they didn't chose, I think you could make a team that beats them roughly 8/10 times Ederson Neville Dias Stam Evra (not clichy) Keane Rodri Beckham Toure Giggs Haaland

This means Keane is so underrated

You have to include the greatest ever premier league captain: Roy Keane

Gael Clichy vs Dennis Irwin at LB! Let’s discuss this more. 😂🤦‍♂️😂

I love the respect between flex n Steve

Roy Keane has to be in that team!

Flex & Big Steve are great guys

For me , they had to choose Patrice Evra as a Left Back , I don't know how you can forget him ; he was one of the main players with Fergusson .

My all time combined XI: 4-3-3: GK: Peter Schmeichel RB: Kyle Walker CB: Ruben Dias CB: Vincent Kompany LB: Denis Irwin CDM: Rodri CM: Kevin De Bruyne CM: Yaya Toure RW: Cristiano Ronaldo LW: David Silva ST: Sergio Aguero Manager: Pep Guardiola

"Your guy didn't do anything" says Flex when talking about champions league performance for Rodri jfc

GK: Andre Onana CB: Harry Maguire CB: Phil Jones RB: Micah Richards LB: Luke Shaw CDM: Scott McTominay CM: Fred CM: Paul Pogba RW: Jesse Lingard LW: Alexis Sanchez ST: Anthony Martial

Michael Cox argues that Schmichael changed the way keepers distributed the ball - except he used his long throws rather than short passes.

GK - Peter Schmeichel RB - Pablo Zabaleta CB - Nemanja Vidic CB - Vincent Kompany (C) LB - Denis Irwin CM - Kevin De Bruyne CDM - Yaya Toure CM - Paul Scholes RW - Cristiano Ronaldo ST - Sergio Aguero LW - Wayne Rooney

Can't believe they left Maguire out

Rodri over Keane 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Here's mine GK edwin van der sar defence LB evra, RB Antonio valencia 3 center backs rio ferdinand, Vidic and Vincent kompany 3 midfielders Ryan giggs, Scholes, David silva the two strikers Wayne Rooney and Carlos tevez

Only at the defenders so far in the video and far play to these two for being the least bias and most rational pairing I’ve seen in awhile. No delusion, lots of respect for both teams, and fair arguments. Class!

Nice to hear Walker getting all the credit he deserves!

Not having yaya in that midfield is criminal

Imagine if you combine all the players from each position. Ederson and Schmeichel combined would be insane, so would Keane and Rodri, hell, even Dias and Ferdinand, and obviously, Pep and Ferguson.

"Jonny Evans wanted to have a lie down"💀Steve's got banter tbf

If I had the best team in the league I would want my manager to be Pep Guardiola. If I had any other I would want it to be Sir Alex. You cant compare what Alex Ferguson has done to Pep Guardiola. Totally different starts and career paths. In my opinion still SAF impresses me more and is definetly harder to accomplish than what Pep has done.

All time combined is Van de sar Neville - Dias - Rio - Evra Rodri - Scholes - KDB David Silva - Rooney - Ronaldo

Vidic is one of the first players on my teamsheet. Cant believe how he never gets mentioned in videos like this

Schmeicel Walker Vidic Kompany Irwin Rodri De Bruyne Yaya Ronaldo Rooney D.Silva Manager - Pep

How did Djemba Djemba (so good they named him twice) not get a mention?

Nice to have two guest who know what they're talking about and aren't stubbornly biased to their clubs

I don't mind playing 4231 with Rooney in the 10. But you can't play Scholes-KDB as the 2. Any combination of Keane/Rodri with Scholes/KDB would be a better team if you had to actually play. I reckon it was better with Rooney on the left and either Keane/Rodri for Silva.

Im not even a Utd fan but my heart almost stopped when I thought Keane wasnt going up on that board.

Vidic gets in over Kompany imo. His 08/09 season was baffling how insanely good he was. He conceded less goals than prime Van dijk in 08/09. He has to have a shout at least

GK - Schmeichel RB - Walker CB - Rio CB - Kompany LB - Evra CM - Toure CM - KDB CAM - Rooney RW - CR7 ST - Aguero LW - Silva Manager - Ferguson

Pep literally destroyed fergi😂 TWICE!!😂

Rooney as a 10 and Ronaldo Aguero and Giggs would've been a mad team

Keane is a EA FC 24 icon. Easy win

i love how the man city fan always had his key point for his modern players as "they won the treble"

Schmeichel (played for both lol) Walker - Kompany - Vidic - Evra Silva - De Bruyne - Scholes - Ronaldo (sorry Giggs) Aguero - Rooney this would problably be the best team of all time

Pep will end his career as the greatest manager of all time for what has he has done ACROSS his times at Barca, Bayern and City, plus whatever he does after. But Ferguson, for not only the trophies and records, but for the longevity and reinventing that team almost entirely 3 times and still being successful, will always be the greatest manager of a MANCHESTER club in my opinion, unless Pep keeps up what he is doing AT City for another decade.

Has he really changed goalkeeping or he has added something to the goalkeeping department that wasn't expected to be there?

Silva in the prem, 60 goals and 93 assists. 16 major trophies Giggs in the prem, 109 goal and 162 assists. 34 major trophies

Steve is a proper fan, respect

Alex Ferguson, without question, is the best manager of the modern era. People forget the 115 FFP allegations, which already puts an asterisk against previous accolades for City, and Pep, in recent years. What has Alex Ferguson done? - lead Aberdeen (ABERDEEN!) to a European trophy (modern day Europa League) beating Real Madrid in the final, unheard of. - proceeded to win the European Super Cup, beating Hamburg (modern-day Champions League winners) - knocked both Celtic and Rangers of the Scottish perch, winning the Scottish PL three times and the Scottish Cup four times in the space of eight years. No other team has won the Scottish PL, other than Rangers or Celtic, since. - 13 premier league titles, 5 FA cups, 2 champions leagues with United. - A treble with United, which was unheard of in English football (at the time). - United won the Premier League with Cleverly (13 league apps), Evans (21 league apps, a young De Gea (28 league apps) and Rafael (27 league apps) at right back in 2013. Pep, a revolutionary manager, has always had backing at each club he's been appointed. A tactical genius, no doubt about it, but to put his name against SAF's is criminal, and I'm sure many will agree. There is not enough 'unheard of's' in Pep's career for him to be in the question. Pep has generated some huge talents, has so many accolades at three different clubs, but has always had his freedom to pick the players he feels suited to his visions and tactics at the club's he's managed. Pep is the second best manager of all time, no doubt about it. Give Pep the '96 United team and tell me if he wins the Prem, I don't think so. I want opinions though!

Gotta go for 3 at the back to fit in all the great midfielders. I think a box midfield with Rodri, Keane, Scholes and KDB, or 3-2-3-2. Nasty team tbh Schmeichel Walker Rio Kompany Keane Rodri KDB. Rooney Scholes CR7. Aguero

here is what i have to say about pep and sir alex, i think sir alex could have done the same as pep did at the teams pep has been at, but without the backing and money I dont think pep could do what sir alex did at Aberdeen, what sir alex did there was nothing short of amazing without the money just down to game by game planning and man to man managing. Everyone seems to forget the reason he ended up at united in the first place. Pep will likely end up with more cups and that, but in my eyes and the eyes of many sir alex will always be the greatest ever manager.

Roy Keane every day of the week

Sir Alex brought a UTD team into the next generation and without him nothing has been won… City had one the league with Pellegrini before Pep even came in… Pep inherits talent… Sir Alex brings it out of you
