rooney, tevez, drogba, pique, casillas, reina, terry, could all be added to you 2011 list
you might not know this but being world-class is fecking hard work and your comparing 2009 to 2011 so the same generation of players look at your 2009 list lampard, terry, cole, gerrard are all in their 30's now as is puyol and van nistelrooy is basically retired. so it's not a far comparison imo
and modric isn't world class and imbrahimovic is awful most overrated player to ever kick a ball Thats my point all the previous world class player seem to hae gone off the boil or retired so where are the new players stepping up, there are so few world class players maybe thats the reason everything is so competive, and why this seasons champions league has been so dull. its only been 2 years not a long time in football at all. two years ago we were second in the league, two years on we are 5th. Two years can make a diffrence. 1000th post, oh yeah we'll done aldo veteran status now

It';s not even just the 2 years think of any other years say 05 when we won the champions league,
Crespo, Terry, Cech, Gallas, Drogba, Shevchenko, Kaka, Lampard, Gerrard, Henry, Viera, Van Nistelrooy, Raul, Del Piero, Ronaldinho, Eto'o, Pujol, Klose, essien, Ballack, Beckham, Ferdinand, Owen, Deco, Carvalho, zidane
It's not just 09 it's every year prior to this one where we have had way more world class players than now
Upcoming world class players IMO for 2014 WORLD CUP:
K-P Boateng, Gotze, Sturridge, Kroos, Lucas Leiva, Hummels, Kyriakos Papadopoulos,

and modric isn't world class and imbrahimovic is awful most overrated player to ever kick a ball Ibrahimovic most over rated player? Milan won the scuddeto this year BECAUSE of Ibra. He is world class, and Modric is edging to be world class. If you watch Ibra play for Sweden/Milan, you will see a playmaker, a goal scorer, and determination when on the ball. His ego is what lets him down, but without a doubt, he is world class. Modric, just his passes alone makes him a above average player and a great asset to ANY team.

I actually disagree with you Desh and no offence when I say this but you obviously don't watch a variety of football at different levels. I'm not saying Im an expert at this but there are many merging talents out there around the world especially in those leagues we don't usually watch e.g brazilian league. Messi and Ronaldo are on a different planet to the current crop of players but there are many class players in and around leagues.
Back to Back World Champions baby!

I think you have to remember united have spent 18 years just to better our record by one. We just need one good season and we will be level again.
As previously said every team has their moments this is uniteds but they should realise they don't last forever.
This is not the end of football, they haven't won. We will be back, they have woke the sleeping giant.
