John O'Shea admits the current crop of Manchester United players
are 'daring to think' about emulating the 1999 Treble-winning
team.
Following Sunday's 4-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, United sit six
points clear at the top of the Premiership and are also through to
the fifth round of the FA Cup.
The UEFA Champions League resumes later this month, with The Red
Devils meeting French side Lille in the last 16.
O'Shea concedes the players are wary about talking up their trophy
chances, but acknowledges the Treble is a possibility.
"We dare to think it is possible," said O'Shea. "We know if we get
that little bit of luck along the way then it is definitely a
possibility.
"We're experienced enough to know, though, if we start talking
about things like that then we will end up with no trophies.
"But there is a confident feeling within the team and with the way
the manager and the coaching staff have been dealing with things
this season."
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."
