Gary Neville has ripped into his former club Manchester United for letting Old Trafford tire, claiming they have been left behind by arch rivals City.
For so long, United had been the dominant force in English football - sweeping up the titles under Sir Alex Ferguson - but City have since come to the party and have wiped the floor with their rivals.
But according to Neville, it's not just on the pitch where the Red Devils are being left in their wake by their neighbours.
The former right back, who won eight Premier League titles and two Champions League's with the club, insists United should be building infrastructure around their stadium that will create a legacy.
On Wednesday morning, Neville told Sky Sports on The Football Show: 'When I think of Manchester United and the land Manchester United own, there should be a Man United World around there.
'They should be influencing education and community, there should be entertainment for the public, it should be a real experience of Manchester United around that stadium.
'Old Trafford has been allowed to tire, the team has been tiring, the stadium is starting to look old and it needs investment. Around the area, there is a huge opportunity to create a Man United experience, something that can influence not just Manchester but their reach is global.
'Old Trafford is a special place, it could be so much more special. If you tap into what City have done over there with a far lesser name and a far more difficult hand to play. The opportunities for United are big, but they have to have a strategy and an ambition to deliver what it can be.
'The City owners have a vision of what they want their football club and their football product to be while United seems more insular at this point in time.'
Neville was backing up Graeme Souness' point, who was singing the praises of City for the work they have been doing off the football pitch.
Souness said: 'City are a big football club on the world stage right now and Man United could spend more money than anyone else until maybe Chelsea came along and latterly City came along. The challenge was very obvious from day one because this family that owns Manchester City are the second or third richest in the world.
'The challenge was always going to be there. The suspicion around them, why are they there? Go to that part of east Manchester and see the infrastructure they have put up there, not just around the football club the money they have spent in the Manchester economy.
'East Manchester is not the most affluent of areas but the money they've spent there can only be good for the community.
'They have shown they're there for the long term and that is scary for everyone else - the FFP situation might damage them in the short term - but it looks like they'll be there for the long term and I only see it as healthy.'
