United faced Arsenal in the 71st Charity Shield. Notably Roy Keane made his United debut. The only other notable thing was George Graham wasn’t aware the shield would be decided on pens in the event of a draw. United won on pens

📅 8th May 1994
🏆Premier League

Proving last seasons title win was no fluke, we followed up by retaining the league in spectacular fashion. The ‘94 side is a favourite of many reds, because of its raw pace, power and ability to play football or mix it against tough sides

🏆 FA Cup

Cantona started the 2nd half battering of Chelsea by scoring two penalties in the space of 6 minutes, followed by goals from Mark Hughes and Brian McClair, a fitting 4-0 victory! Sir Alex's first domestic double with United.

After winning the double, we faced Blackburn in the Charity Shield and we didn't give them a chance to win this either... Cantona & Ince scored and David May made his club debut after joining from Blackburn just weeks before.

🏆 Premier League

Keegan’s meltdown.
Eric’s return.
You won’t win anything with kids.

Anything but ordinary Premier League season, but 3 titles in 4 years, means a familiar name on the trophy.

11/38
📅 11th May 1996
🏆 FA Cup

The Double Double. Cantona inspired a young United to domestic champions and now inspired a 1-0 win over fierce rivals Liverpool, scoring the only goal as United complete a 2nd league and cup double!

12/38

🏆 Charity Shield

Following Euro ’96, Fergie got giddy, signed Jordi Cruyff and Karel Poborsky. They debuted in this game, and it pretty much peaked there for them both.

13/38
📅 11th May 1997
🏆 Premier League

Cantona bowed out as a champion for the 4th time in the 4 seasons he completed with United. But the makeup of the team was changing, as the class of 92 lads began to take centre stage.

🏆 Charity Shield

Another trip to Wembley for Fergie and another trophy coming home.

United needed penalties to get the job done, after drawing 1-1 in 90 mins.

📅 16th May 1999
🏆 Premier League

A new era. One of the most complete sides that ever took to a football field.

Schmeichel, GNev, Irwin, Stam, Johnsen, Keane, Scholes, Beckham, Giggs, Yorke & Cole - Solskjaer, Sheringham, Berg, Blomqvist, PNev, Butt + Brown.

Legends

🏆 FA Cup

The FA Cup Final was the pre-party to the big one in Barcelona, but it’s still the FA Cup and it still needed winning. It was easy in the end. Up the reds!

17/38
📅 26th May 1999
🏆 Champions League

Did we deserve to win the game? No.
Do we care? No.

Losing Keane & Scholes was a huge blow. But we scraped through thanks to injury time winners from Solskjaer & Sheringham.

The unprecedented Treble. Best team in all the world.

United would face Palmeiras in the 1999 Intercontinental Cup. Roy Keane’s single goal proving the difference.

A 6th title for Fergie, retained it again. We made it look easy.

20/38
📅 19th May 2001
🏆 Premier League

First 3-in-a-row of Sir Alex’s reign. 7th title. But cracks were showing - and Fergie would try and adapt the side to better perform in Europe following the ease of winning domestically, but the struggle in Europe.

21/38
📅 11th May 2003
🏆 Premier League

Mixed feelings on this season, Ruud’s only title win. Beckham’s last. Didn’t retain it, and you get the impression it was a Frankenstein team stuck between two eras.

📅 5th August 2003
🏆 Charity Shield

Arsenal played the role of foe for the 81st Charity Shield, held at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff.

23/38
📅 22nd May 2004
🏆 FA Cup

An unlikely opponent in Millwall, lined up against a United team in transition. Ruud van Nistelrooy bagged a brace and the MOTM award, but it was also a game where Ronaldo seemed to come of age.

📅 26th Feb 2006
🏆 League Cup

Wigan became the first victims of the Rooney and Ronaldo era of United. The pair, combined with Saha stuck 4 past Wigan Athletic to take home the 25th trophy of Sir Alex’s reign.

3 long seasons without winning a league - can you imagine! Felt like a lifetime in the wilderness. But Fergie has assembled another great side. How good can they be?

📅 5th August 2007
🏆 Charity Shield

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea faced off for the 85th Charity/Community Shield. Van Der Sar saved all 3 of Chelsea’s pens as Rio, Carrick and Rooney scored for United.

27/38
📅 11th May 2008
🏆 Premier League

Ronaldo scored 31 league goals. United narrowly saw off Chelsea for the title, but we’d meet them soon in Moscow. Above all, there was a confidence in this United, it knew it was good. You felt we’d beat anyone, from any era.

28/38
📅 21 May 2008
🏆 Champs League

Once of the most entertaining of all time. End-to-end. It had everything. Then it went to penalties. Ronaldo - flawless all season - misses. John Terry changed the penalty order, so he’d be the one to win it. Slipped. Missed. Cried. Unlucky

29/38
📅 10th August 2008
🏆 Charity Shield

Portsmouth + Harry Redknapp today’s opposition. Qualified as 2008 FA Cup winners and took us to penalties to win this.

Once more than England. World Champions Twice.

Been Foster was named MOTM after a shootout performance that United overcome Spurs. After watching iPod footage of the Tottenham penalty takers moments before pulling off a save.

32/38
📅 24th May 2009
🏆 Premier League

Fergie’s 11th, United’s 18th and the second time he’d done a three-peat. If retaining it is hard, how hard can 3 in a row be?

Ronaldo’s last in a United shirt. Think we can all agree he peaked here, done nowt since.

33/38
📅 28th Feb 2010
🏆 League Cup

Rooney and Owen combined to see off Aston Villa in front of 88,596 at Wembley. Remember when winning was so commonplace we didn’t even celebrate League Cups?

🏆 Charity Shield

Another trip to Wembley, this time to collect Fergie’s 35th pot as gaffer. Unreal.

A season we didn’t really celebrate winning the league because of the disappointment of the Champions League final defeat. But it was the 19th title.

A rarity in the Community Shield - but a hell of a football game. Newly riché city finally qualified for one of these games after being the mighty Stoke.

Phil Jones’ debut.

Robin van Persie was signed to bring goals. He brought 26 of them. He helped United deliver a 13th Premier League and a 20th English title for the reds.

It would cap the end of the greatest feat of managerial prowess that we would ever witness.

Sir Alex, the greatest. ‹‹Thank you.
