Ryoko you're being silly.
He was winning young player of the year, UEFA player of the year and runner-up in FIFA world player of the year in the nineties - long before the hype kicked in.
He was an integral part of the huge successes at Manchester United while he was there.
He's not the best player the world has ever seen but has had fantastic successes and I think you're falling for the media build em up, knock em down rubbish.
You sound like my mum. She knows sod all about football but loves a bit of media muck-spreading.
