Back in the late 90’s at Liverpool, many managers in the PL were so focused on stopping McManaman and him only, as he was the driving force behind that great team. Supremely underrated by those that didn’t watch him.

There's footage of Ferguson giving his Man Utd team talk that focuses purely on concentrating on stopping McManaman.

I always loved him. He was immense at Madrid. He had the balls to play and succeed outside of England.

Wow, the goal at 3:07 is pure insanity. What a player. Would be a nightmare to defend. Liverpool and Real Madrid legend. YNWA Macca

it was against my team Celtic in the UEFA Cup. Even more important for Liverpool cos it was scored near the end of the match to make it 2-2 at Celtic park.

Various Utd players from the 90s era have since said that no one inspired more fear in Alex Ferguson than McManaman. Apparently, they would be wary of other top players like Shearer, Wright, Ginola, etc...but McManaman was the one Ferguson would devote entire team talks to.

Such an underrated player. Macca would run past players for fun. I think the fact that he looked so casual and not built like a typical footballer meant he has been often overlooked as one of the all time greats.

He is one of the best dribblers I've ever seen.

Smart, Speed, Intelligent, very good skills, IQ high, efficient and spectacular. Very good player this Steve Mcmanaman. Respect for him✅👍 England can to be pround of him✅👍 Thank's for the video✅👍

Great player and a rare English success at a top foreign club, his dribbling style (quite similar to Robert Pires) and overall look were somehow very 'continental'.

The quality of players was so much higher then than now.

I remember when I was a child in school, he was one of my favorites. It was such a joy to watch him play. Never missed a Real Madrid game, then I would go out to play, trying to imitate his runs 😂😂😂.

We was like ( at school ) hey hey do you know Mcmananananaman LOLLLLLL

I'm a Real Madrid fan and have great memories of him. Outstanding and a fantastic player .

He played huge role in euro 96 team hugely underrated in my opinion, what winger in youngs day powerful fast, technically awesome, classy

Close to the best player in the prem around 1995-97

My favourite Liverpool player as a kid , a maverick

We don't forget him in Spain. A pleasure to watch and a true gentleman,

Great player, aslo great song !

Growin'up he was LE brit' player to me: incredible pace..composure and vivid talent!!❤

En Madrid se te aprecia Mcmanaman!

Steve Mcnamanan and Ryan Giggs. Miss those days..

Brilliant player would be even better today as you can't tackle . Greatness

Soo underrated back then and now. Topped all the attacking midfielder stats and passed the 'eye test' too. Never gave the ball away.

Wahouuuuuu best football video of my life mcmanaman + oasis perfect match

Another world class footballer England didn’t utilise enough. Terry venables was the only manager who got the best out of him

Legend🔥🔥⚽️⚽️

An absolute brilliant player very underrated I think deceptively quick an skillful his passing n vision was good aswell yes 👏

Gran giocatore.

I miss players who ran and dribbled past defenders.

He was a Legend ,skillful,so fast,tireless dribbler unfortunately at late 90s early 2000s his speed and game decreased. A True Euro 96 and especially Liverpool Legend.

I am not a fan of england players but it was impossible not to like this one.

As a Newcastle fan -- I still have nightmares about this guy. But what a player. Modern footballers are perhaps fitter and more athletic, but the players of this era would annihilate a good modern side. The best Barça sides would let the ball do the work -- but why let the ball do the work, when players like Mcmanaman could just go past players and draw defenders towards him, unlocking teams. Ironically - it was probably Michael Owen's acceleration and pace that forever changed the English recruitment system of players. These things will come full circle again, I am sure. Little wonder English sides look abroad so often for skilled players now. Some of the best players that have existed probably never played at the highest level in English football because they didn't score high enough on a bleep test, or showed too much "character" in the dressing room.

fast and creative 🥇

One the best liverpool players of the 90s, you can see why real madrid bought him.

English coaches were married to the flat 4 4 2 formation thus choosing to use him as a winger and not an attacking midfielder. This affected his international career greatly

That's not entirely true. Venables was playing 4411/4321/3142 attacking but defended in a 442. Hoddle played 3412 and Scholes was used in Macca's role that he was doing under Roy Evans. Keegan was making up stuff as he went along but he did play 352 sometimes. Sven was the only true 442 man. Young Macca who was MotM in the 92 FA Cup final and the 95 League Cup finals was more of a winger up til 96. Then, under Evans and up until Real signed Zidane signed Macca was more of a central player who occasional played on the wing.

What about his fighting skills with Grobbelaar

MCMANAMANNNN

👏👏👏👏

He was like the second coming of Kenny Dalglish seemed a yard quicker than most players and had an eye for goal

I came from FIFA 24

McManaman seems to have had a wide, evasive dribbling style on the one hand, but also aimed for short passes on the other. If he had played longer on the continent, he would have been able to harmonize his game more.

Smart player

A video on Robben ?

Absolute genius. that liverpool team if they had better defenders would have destroyed the league

Pedri reminds me of him for some reason

So distractin thhat this is the intro music for SNATCH... what is the song called?

I love him at Real Madrid! Hala Madrid. 😀

So...Paul Scholes next?

To be honest Macca is the best English player of all time period.
