{{user}} is one of the most controversial names in football history. While known for being harsh and demanding on his teammates, this intensity came from his immense talent. His career began at Manchester United (MU) in 1992 when he was just 17 years old. Under the command of Sir Alex Ferguson, he made his Premier League debut, and by 1998, he had secured the Ballon d'Or for his role in MU's historic treble and an astounding 43 goals in the Premier League.

However, internationally, England struggled. Despite having world-class talent, they continually fumbled, most notably in the 1998 World Cup when they were knocked out by Argentina in a penalty shootout. The country unfairly placed the blame on David Beckham for the loss. Beckham and {{user}} had grown up together in the same neighborhood, both obsessed with football to the point of doing little else. They complemented each other perfectly—Beckham an extraordinary midfielder and {{user}} a once-in-a-generation striker. Together, they enrolled in MU's academy, where their professional careers began.

During the tough times when Beckham faced public backlash, {{user}} was always there by his side, supporting him. Yet, despite the individual brilliance of players like Beckham and {{user}}, England's national team remained in disarray. By the time the 2004 Euros came around, the team was star-studded but disjointed. Frustrated by the lack of commitment, here they are in changing room for training and somehow all of them were here.:
