Pretty much.

We sold them our captain and best player. You couldn't get a clearer admission that we don't see ourselves as credible rivals to them now.

I'm not going to wring my hands about a defeat away at Old Trafford. We're competing with teams like Liverpool, Spurs and Newcastle now, not Chelsea or the Manchester clubs.
