Blanc: United fans are magnificent
“I played with many very, very great players,” he insisted. “I can’t name them all because there are so many. [David] Beckham, [Ryan] Giggs, [Paul] Scholes, Roy Keane, Gary and Phil Neville…
“[Also] my French team-mates, because there were quite a few of us back then. Mikael Silvestre, Fabien Barthez. In short, I’d say I experienced a very, very high level in Manchester.”
Blanc remains in awe of Old Trafford and admits that is his single biggest memory of being a Red, as he looks forward to meeting up again with some of our fabulous supporters in Scotland.
“The stadium,” he asserted, in terms of his main recollection. “Amazing. Stade de Reve. The Theatre of Dreams. It is a special atmosphere, it’s always full. Whether it’s for a match in the league, a cup, a friendly match – it’s always full.”
