'UNITED ARE KINGS'.Byline: DAVID David, in the Bible David, d. c.970 B.C., king of ancient Israel (c.1010–970 B.C.), successor of Saul. The Book of First Samuel introduces him as the youngest of eight sons who is anointed king by Samuel to replace Saul, who had been deemed a failure. McDONNELL ERIC CANTONA has taunted big-spending Manchester City by claiming they will never be as big as arch rivals United. City have spent pounds 80m this summer - pounds 150m if they sign John Terry and Joleon Lescott. But Reds legend Eric, who had five years at Old Trafford, said United remained the biggest club in the world. "Money is great," said Cantona. "But it's important to work with young English players. United are the perfect example of that." In a nod to Michael Owen getting his old No.7 shirt, he added: "It's great. I'm sure he'll do well."
