i read it from soccernet. i tried to get it back for you but apparently they have purged their old articles prior to year 2000 hence it's no longer searchable. and no easy google search can be done neither. the most closest wordings i can recall would be manchester united could score all kind of goals that can be found in football.
. yorke & cole could do penetration at the central area;
. giggs could cross from deep and beckham could cross from high line, or beckham could send out from a freekick and we had players who could score from powerful headers (from pallister/bruce to stam/johnson) or from a diver (yorke) or from a runner by the near post (keano);
. both beckham and scholes could pass a 50 yard through ball from deep to pick up a runner;
. giggs could do a solo run on his own;
. beckham could score directly from excellent free kicks or from long shots;
. keano, butt & scholes were all good in picking up rebounds;
. we had ole as an opportunitist inside the box to be our assassin;
. sheringham could carry out some play making role as a no 10;
. mr reliable would never miss a penalty kick
what else i missed?
i was not aware of that until i read it and he was very right
