You're right. 4 with Real, 1 with Bayern.Kroos too no ?
Perez wasn't president at the time. In fact the timing of the sale points to SAF not wanting to sell to CalderonNot everything Fergie said should be taken as gospel. There's a lot of stuff he said in the heat of the moment and it was more related to the specific circumstances around them tapping up Ronaldo. He might have been annoyed with some of Perez's tactics, but I'm sure deep down he has a lot of respect for the club and realises Perez is an incredible president for them.
To be fair, if it was Barca, they'd have explained that they actually won the moral victory cup against us that day, owing to the pitch being anti-footballIt's easy to get annoyed at them again

Oh my mistake, I thought I remembered Perez being involved in that transfer, must have mixed up!Perez wasn't president at the time. In fact the timing of the sale points to SAF not wanting to sell to Calderon
He was. He became president again in May/June 2009. A month later he signed Cristiano. Deal was already in place, SAF just didn't want to close it with CalderonOh my mistake, I thought I remembered Perez being involved in that transfer, must have mixed up!
Ah right! I mean my point still stands (probably even stronger in fact) that it wasn't Real Madrid as an institution SAF had an issue with, but rather the tactics of individuals.He was. He became president again in May/June 2009. A month later he signed Cristiano. Deal was already in place, SAF just didn't want to close it with Calderon

Domestic: Liverpool, Leeds, Arsenal (In that order)
Europe: Real, Bayern (In that order)
These are the teams that I hated growing up being a United fan. Can never say "Hala Madrid!" as they represented all the evil before the emergence of these oil clubs. The haughtiness, poaching of the very best players, the Spanish government bailouts, the corruption, the fans etc etc. Enough reasons to hate them.
Kind of sad that we have to stoop to the level of all the ABU fans in my lifetime to now even wish for these clubs winning to stop City or Liverpool. Absolutely despise it.
Most of their old guard fans are watching County or give less of a shit since City Group bleached any identity they had. The ones left are a spectacular example of how quickly fans can become a bunch of whiney, spoiled brats when enough money and shiney things is thrown in front of them.Tweet

Maybe you were too young back then, but I remember the heartbreaks in those Quarter finals losses in the late 1990's and the early 00's. The whole Ronaldo saga was pathetic. The undeserved Nani red card in R16 when we were the better team (Still remember RVP's miss at the Bernabeu) in SAF's last CL campaign.We've never had a "rivalry" with Real Madrid.
We’ve never beaten them in my lifetime over two legs but we should have had a Madrid - United final in Glasgow.Maybe you were too young back then, but I remember the heartbreaks in those Quarter finals losses in the late 1990's and the early 00's. The whole Ronaldo saga was pathetic. The undeserved Nani red card in R16 when we were the better team (Still remember RVP's miss at the Bernabeu) in SAF's last CL campaign.
Have always hated them.
I attended all of those games... None of that makes for an actual rivalry.Maybe you were too young back then, but I remember the heartbreaks in those Quarter finals losses in the late 1990's and the early 00's.

When did we play Real in the 90's?Maybe you were too young back then, but I remember the heartbreaks in those Quarter finals losses in the late 1990's and the early 00's.

Just checked, it was the 99/00 season. The games were in 2000, you are correct.When did we play Real in the 90's?
In 2000?
To each their own, bud. Even though they are the lesser evils between Liverpool,City and them, Arsenal winning the title while we remain shit will be hard to take. Plus, for all the shit I have given Arsenal fans over the last 20 years, especially the "Top 4 trophy" years, I'll have to go into hiding if they win the title this season or in the next couple before we can get back to challenging again.I attended all of those games... None of that makes for an actual rivalry.
Our rivals are Liverpool, City and Leeds... Arsenal to some because of the Ferguson/Wenger years, but for me that was always a time and place rivalry, rather then anything long lasting (as I don't really hate Arsenal now or anything).
