Which players will start their journey towards Premier League glory this weekend?

7: Aston Villa 3-1 Manchester United, 1995/96

Brian Kidd and Alex Ferguson Premiership Trophy May 1996
You can't win anything with kids......

Twenty-three years have passed since Alan Hansen uttered his infamous 'You can't win anything with kids' line after Manchester United were defeated 3-1 on the opening day of the 95/96 season, and still to this day, the scot has not been allowed to forget about it.

Few young sides are as iconic as Manchester United 'class of 92' and this was one of their first appearances as a unit in the Premier League. Their side, which featured Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville, Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes and David Beckham, would go on to win both the Premier League and FA Cup that season but they were defeated fairly comfortably on the opening day by Aston Villa at Villa Park.

Their defeat prompted Hansen to utter his famous line in the post-match analysis, something that has haunted him ever since.
