Manchester United fans have all been making the same point after seeing Borussia Dortmund reach the Champions League semi-finals.
Dortmund edged out Atletico Madrid in a thrilling Champions League quarter-final second leg on Tuesday night.
Atleti led 2-1 from the first leg but Dortmund turned it around on their own patch and were leading 3-2 on aggregate going into the second half.

But a Mats Hummels own goal and a strike from Angel Correa pulled Diego Simeone's level on the night and put them 4-3 up on aggregate.
The hosts found another two goals though, with Niclas Fullkrug and Marcel Sabitzer finding the net and sending Dortmund into the semi-finals after a 6-4 win across the two legs.
The result could deal United a major blow when it comes to their Champions League qualification hopes.
But after seeing on-loan Jadon Sancho and former loanee Marcel Sabitzer, play an integral part in the triumph, United fans vented about Ten Hag afterwards.
One commented: "Sabitzer and Sancho stepping up in the UCL and Ten Hag still sticking with this Bruno and Garnacho gimmick."
A second agreed: "Sancho & Sabitzer (Ten Hag rejectees) helping their team to the UCL SF, somewhere United haven’t been since 2011."
A third added: "Sancho and Sabitzer run away from Ten Hag ship and now they'll be playing in the Champions League semi-finals. Others are watching on TV."
Another user wrote: "Sancho and Sabitzer weren’t good enough for Ten Hag btw."
A fifth fumed: "Ten Hag on the floor rn witnessing Sabitzer and Sancho world-class performance."
Dortmund will take on PSG in the semi-finals having already played them home and away.
United, meanwhile, were eliminated in the group stages after a dire campaign and currently find themselves seventh in the Premier League.
The Red Devils look set to play in either the Europa League or Europa Conference League next term.
