"People try to compare the teams," explained Dwight Yorke while speaking to talkSPORT.
"We [Manchester United] were more physical, we had better players. You can’t tell me they have better than Paul Scholes and Roy Keane. Maybe Kevin De Bruyne would get into our midfield.
"But no defender on the planet would want to face Ryan Giggs at his very best. He was a class act. Look at David Beckham and his delivery of a ball."
Yorke, who was part of that historic triumph, continued: "Yes, Erling Haaland is unique but the way we played and the formation we played in, I wouldn’t swap him for what we had.
"We had a great combination with myself and Andy Cole.
"Don’t get me wrong, it is an incredible feat what Haaland has done. Scoring 52 goals in 52 appearances with a game still to go is something else. But I still would take my combination with Andy.
"Also, I would put my money on Jaap Stam handling Haaland and behind him we had the best goalkeeper in the world at the time in Peter Schmeichel.
"I admire this City team and wish them the best but we will always be the first English team to create history with the Treble — they are just joining us."
Man City's possible treble win has led to all sorts of opinions among fans and former players. Some feel Man United's achievement can never be replicated while others believe the current Man City team is simply the best.
However, Yorke is right - the Red Devils will always be the first English team in history to pull off something like that at a time when you couldn't just buy teams.
