In August 1995, Match of the Day pundit Alan Hansen made a comment that would go down in football folklore. After watching Manchester United field a young team against Blackburn Rovers, Hansen famously said, "You can't win anything with kids."

Hansen's words were met with widespread derision at the time. Manchester United were struggling in the league, and their young team was seen as a sign of weakness. But just a few months later, the Red Devils would prove Hansen wrong by winning the FA Cup and the Premier League title. Since then, Manchester United have gone on to become one of the most successful clubs in England, and Hansen's comment has become a source of amusement for fans.

Hansen has since admitted that he was wrong about Manchester United's youth policy. He has said that he was impressed by the way that the young players performed, and that he believes that they have a bright future. Hansen's change of heart is a reminder that it is never too early to write off a young team. With the right coaching and support, any team can achieve great things.
