Manchester City are just one game away from joining city rivals Manchester United as the only English teams to win the Treble. Sir Alex Ferguson’s United became the first team from this country to win the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in the same season in 1998-99. And now Pep Guardiola’s City will join them – securing him a second Treble after achieving it with Barcelona in 2009 – if they beat Inter Milan in Istanbul on Saturday. But how do they compare? Former Brighton striker Glenn Murray told BBC Radio 5 Live: “They are better than the Manchester United Treble-winning team of 1999. And I say that reluctantly as I was a United fan as a kid. That generation I looked up to, and it seems that feat would never be repeated. But this City team are deadly. They beat people and move on. They are an emotionless winning machine. Nothing bothers them. They will put their feet up and enjoy themselves when they have proved that they are what most people think they are and that’s one of the best club sides we have ever seen.”
