Bruce backs United's class of '94 to match the Quadruple chasers - Sportsmail gives its verdict
Steve Bruce reckons his Manchester United heroes of '94 would be a match for Sir Alex Ferguson's all-conquering side.
Bruce's Wigan outfit will tonight try to halt the current Manchester United side's march towards another title.
But the former centre back still has fond memories of his time at Old Trafford, even if he is slightly embarrassed by his chairman Dave Whelan's claims he could one day replace Ferguson as manager there.
For the moment, Bruce prefers to think only of the great United sides from the past that he captained.
'I have always said the '94 team would have taken on anyone,' said Bruce. 'I would still back it now, that was a hell of a team.
'But after we won the Double that season, that team never played together again. Paul Parker left, Paul Ince, Mark Hughes, Andrei Kanchelskis followed. It was broken up very quickly.
'But my view is that team, with Ryan Giggs, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane, Peter Schmeichel and the rest would be a match for anyone.
'We were not as successful as this current United team, but we were restricted by the daft rule about assimilated foreigners and all that nonsense. But it was a great team.
