"I think people tend to forget that, they're trying to put this City team on a pedestal as (doing) something no other team has done. "They're not surpassing us, they're joining in what we achieved," Yorke said during a visit to Hong Kong this week. That would see Pep Guardiola's team match the achievements of Alex Ferguson's squad 24 years ago and Yorke, a key figure in that all-conquering side, wants the exploits of his teammates to be given greater acknowledgment. HONG KONG, May 27 (Reuters) - Ex-Manchester United striker Dwight Yorke has called for greater recognition of his former team's treble-winning exploits as expectation grows that Manchester City will emulate their cross-city rivals' historic 1999 achievement.Ĭity completed the first leg of a potential treble last week by winning the Premier League title and will become the second team to claim all three trophies if they win the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League finals next month.
