Bobby Charlton hails United's class of '09

Table of Contents

Sir Bobby Charlton has claimed the present Manchester United side may be the best yet in the club's distinguished history.

The 71-year-old legend, who led United to their first European Cup win in 1968, was full of praise after the world, European and English champions destroyed Arsenal 3-1 in the Champions League semis last Tuesday.

"This could be the greatest United team – absolutely – and it probably already is," Sir Bobby told The Daily Star.

"It is a different game now and you can’t really compare eras – but it’s just magic what they are doing and you have to enjoy it while it’s here.

"It was really nice at the end of Tuesday’s game that a lot of Arsenal fans stopped to applaud."
