Better than the current one though, and i'd say the likes of Rooney, Fletcher, Carrick, Rafael, Nani, Valencia, RVP, Chicharito, Evans, etc circa 2013 were better than most of what we have right now and were vastly more experienced in terms of winning, big games, european competition. etc.
When you compare the squads there's a huge gap in quality and experience.
Rooney and Carrick are fair play.
Fletcher was done at this point. Next season under LVG played few games, didn't convince, was sold in Jan.
Rafael, he was becoming injury prone by Moyes seaosn and after LVG sold him, again in Jan of his first season in charge, he did absolutely nothing in the rest of his career. He had a great season when we last won the title, but didn't convince for the next parts of his career, at United or after it.
Evans, not better than our current 2 main defenders imho, though it's a point that many will argue about.
Chicharito, he was a squad player that you thew in when you are losing or pressing to get 1 more goal. Of course a solid option on the bench but he was never a main starter player and couldn't become later on either.
Nani, LVG sent him on loan once he got the job then got sold. Did nothing after he left either.
The problem is you are evaluating this squad based on names. Yes, on the paper the names are far better than now, but on the pitch is a different story. It was a squad that consisted of majorly washed out players that Fergie made one last push with and squeezed everything form the majority of them in his last season. That was it for them. It was time for the majority of them to move on and start a rebuild. We didn't, so what happened happened. LvG came and sold the majority of them, but ended up replacing them with bad players too, which didn't solve the problem.
Both this squad and the current one needed/needs a rebuild and both of them hired the wrong manager for that imo.
