John O'Shea admits the current crop of Manchester United players are 'daring to think' about emulating the 1999 Treble-winning team.
The versatile Irishman feels the 2007 team compares favourably with the 1999 vintage in terms of talent, but accepts there is less experience in the present squad.
He added: "They probably had more experience in terms of age.
"In particular the four strikers we had then were proven, which is the only thing this squad is lacking.
"But in terms of talent, this team is up there."

I don't think Man Utd can win the treble because it is a very difficult thing to achieve and i believe the Premiership and Champions League is a lot harder to win now. But this got me thinking, is the current Man Utd squad as good as the Treble-winning squad. I have my opinions on this but I would like to find out yours, do you agree with John ‘The Cat’ O'Shea?
