Just read a comment from user Barca that said?

That Barca fan can touch me in a place unseen to the public eye.

Being very neutral with regards to both clubs, I think Man United is the bigger club.

Almost every football fan can tell you a random fact or a player that played for Man United before the war, but very few can name a pre-war Barcelona player.

You can find a Man United fan in every country in the world, I believe the same cannot be said for Barcelona.

I don't know enough about Barcelona's domestic success to debate which team has had it better.

Dubya - I know every one of those players but I've never heard of any player before then, whereas I have heard of players from Man United from over 100 years ago

With the exception of Madrid and maybe Milan (and even they have fallen on hards times Madrid dipped in the 90's and Milan are struggling now) the ???gigantitude??? of clubs is cyclic. In the early millenium I would have said United over Barca...Now it is definitely Barca.

Barca's history is just as great as united. their domestic and european success is equal if not better than United's and in terms of fansbase, United certainly grew theirs in the 90's, but Barca's has become very comparable since Ronaldinho and now Messi.

Neither are small clubs.

Barcelona:

56 Domestic cups

10 European titles

United:

46 Domestic titles

6 European titles

EDIT: I edited and those are the numbers and you can make your own conclusions...

BTW, I find it funny you're letting a random Barça fan unsettled you...

@ Dilligaf: Before the 70s neither team had much foreigners on their squads, but you've never heard of Kubala, Cruijff, Neeskens, Maradona, Lineker, Laudrup, Koeman, Stoichkov, Romario, Figo, Ronaldo, Kluivert, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho?

Plus, 7 Ballon d'Or winners to United's 4 and 7 WPOTY to United's 1...

@ Dilligaf: The only English team that stands next to both Barça and Madrid all time is Liverpool while United is behind all three, not far but still behind. Barcelona has been an European power since the 50s while United just started their European run in the late 80s...

Those are FACTS...

Barcelona dwarf Man Utd. The Catalans are in a different league.

The closest to Barca from the EPL is Liverpool. They have a 'real' european history to call upon. But Barca dwarf them too.

Barca....no questions asked.

we look forward the future and not live in the past . in the future this is BARÇA who can manage the world .
