It's likely a replica, I was at the Nou Camp in 2003, and Barca had one on display even though they only had one to their name at the time.Talking of their trophy room - how is it that they have a European Cup on display there when they have only ever won it three times?
I remember going on their stadium tour a few months back (friends, a united supporter) and thinking it was a perfect metaphor for their club.
Yes there was a rather mighty trophy room, but the whole place looked really run down going to their café I thought I'd been transported back to the 90s.
A club in stagnation, no doubt.

Watching them against Newcastle there was not a single United player on the pitch that I would be interested in.Ronaldo - old, he ain’t what he was like when Bale came back to us, still good but not outstanding
Bruno - overrated, scores goals but can’t run a midfield
Rashford - good but not great
Cavani - decent but getting on a bit
Pogba - unpredictable
All have weaknesses, I would rather have Son than any of those players.

The only one that springs to mind is Lindelöf. He's comfortable on the ball and has a good passing range, and I am confident that Conte would improve the other aspects of his game. He could easily do what Davies does for us but as a right sided CB.Watching them against Newcastle there was not a single United player on the pitch that I would be interested in.

I think Conte would make good use of a few of them but mostly as back up. United have huge depth in their squad but limited out and out world class players.
The only one that would come close is Varane. Under Conte he would probably get back to his best ... which is very good. He plays in the same position as Romero though, so I wouldn't even do that deal.The only one that springs to mind is Lindelöf.

He gets a lot of flack from their fanbase but he is honest to God their best all around DB. But his seemingly chronic back issues is holding him back. Not to mention the fee paid for Maguire and the status of Varane.
Must be heart breaking for Souness not being able to blame him for their shitnessDidn't see the game, delighted to come home and see that result. Not surprised, they have no midfield, Pogba injury is more damaging than you'd think.
The Conte experiment at Old Trafford would have been really interesting actually, as we know he needs complete buy in and doesn't have divas in his team so I reckon the likes of Ronaldo, Bruno and Pogba would have eventually got bombed.
I think those lot need a an elite coach to shake them up, can't see them playing for Rangnick or respecting him anymore than Ole.
He did none of that whilst Ole was in charge. Nowhere near as scathing on the team or the club.Trouble at mill.
I don’t always listen to Neville and Carragher summing up a game, but I did yesterday. Listen to Neville describe the United team, the lack of pulling together, the absence of the senior pros encouraging, maybe at times chastising, the younger players, to get the best out of them.
Neville knows more than he is letting on, what he said was bad enough.
Within the dressing room - trouble at mill.
