Manchester United has a rich history, abundant in trophies and golden memories. Here are five such iconic moments that have cemented their legacy.
1. The 1999 UEFA Champions League Final
Perhaps the most iconic moment in Man United's history was during the 1999 UEFA Champions League final versus Bayern Munich. United was 1-0 down with injury time looming over the game, and it looked like their chances had been extinguished. But Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had other things on their mind. Sheringham equalized in the 91st minute, and Solskjaer poked home the winner in the 93rd minute to cap an incredible comeback and seal a remarkable treble (Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League) for Sir Alex Ferguson's Reds.
2. Winning the European Cup for the First Time in 1968
Manchester United became the first English club to win the European Cup ten years after eight players were killed in the Munich air disaster. They overcame Benfica 4-1 after extra time at Wembley. Sir Matt Busby had overseen his team's rebuilding following the crash, and on this night awash with emotion, George Best, Bobby Charlton, and Brian Kidd all became legends as they held the coveted trophy aloft.
3. Sir Alex Ferguson's Hiring and Legacy (1986)
While not a single moment, Sir Alex Ferguson's hiring heralded an era of unrivalled glory for Manchester United. Ferguson won 38 trophies in 26 years, including 13 Premier League titles, five FA Cups, and two UEFA Champions League titles. His ability to regularly rebuild teams and keep them competitive over this length of time speaks volumes for his managerial acuity.
4. The Comeback Against Juventus in the 1999 Champions League Semi-Finals
The quarter-finals of the Champions League were followed by a difficult semi-final against Juventus, in which United narrowly survived to celebrate their miraculous night in Barcelona. After drawing 1-1 at Old Trafford, United were 2-0 behind within the opening 11 minutes of the second leg in Turin. But a miraculous comeback then unfolded, with Roy Keane, Dwight Yorke, and Andy Cole netting to seal a 3-2 victory on the night and a 4-3 aggregate victory. This match showcased the fighting spirit that characterized Sir Alex Ferguson teams but taken to a whole new LEVEL.
