How can city be the lesser Manchester team, they are the only ones who play in Manchester, that's like saying united are the lessor team in Trafford!
The haaland injury? Oh you mean when the coward keane deliberately premeditaly went on the football field with the intention to assault another player, is that the incident you are talking about? Then to glorify it in a book is innexcusable! But that was the mark of the man, as I said he even walked out on his own country, coming from an Irish family I can tell you not many people outside of cork or man u fans had a good word to say about him!
Viera was just as driven as keane he just wasn't an over agressive animal on the pitch snarling and abusing players an officials without ever demonstrating the ideals of fair play, viera was a roll model by comparison and if you asked any non man u biased fan they would agree he was technically light years ahead of keane and a better person as a roll model for younger players in the game!
Keane is a coward and walked out on his country walked out on his management career got booted out of man u for running his mouth off, didn't he even say what we all know as true that the majority of match day fans at old Trafford "in Trafford by the way" are day tripping prawn sandwich eating passionless glory hunters, will give him credit for that one at least there he speaks the truth!
By the standards united fans themselves set viera must have been infinitely better than keane, come back when you have won the world cup and European championship,

the thing is Viera couldnt wait to leave Arsenal where as Keane was UTD through and through and would die for the club.

That's why he got himself thrown out because he loved you all, that's why he called the fans he so loved

===================
how does winning titles with a national team somehow make you better than a player who hasnt?! on a domestic level they won similar amounts. By extension of that argument, Johan Cruyff is clearly not as good, and niether was Platini, or from more modern times, Messi is not as good as Viera.
As for being the lesser team in Manchester, i called you that because that is what you are. Simple really.

Well man u fans go on about what a player has won, well he's won a world cup and a European championship, when people look back in years to come and compare their respective carreers and the player themselves the logical conclusion is that viera was a better player!
We can't agree your bias towards a united player blinds you to the fact viera was simply a better all round footballer with more credits to his name.
As a Mancunian "are you one?" the insult that Manchester city is the lesser club in Manchester is laughable they are my local club who I spend my money watching week in week out "do you at man u" to me they are the greatest club ever!
Insults like that are par for the coarse from man u fans you must try harder if you want to wum!

Also you had nothing to say about the cowards assault on a fellow pro or the fact he turned his back on his country!

I am not WUMming you at all - well, maybe a little bit of teasing
I do like how my bias blinds me towards a United player, but your bias against United doesnt blind you towards him - how does that work then??
His challenge on Haaland and turning his back on his country are not a slight on his footballing ability, they are character flaws within him.
It doesnt detract from the fact that he is probably the best CM in the EPL. Even Viera acknowledged Keane was his toughest opponent;

If Viera can man up and say he was the best, maybe you can too........
