    I was born in '76. Alex came in '86 and I was ten. For the next 26 years of my life, me and Man U were consistently linked in my memories. I remember so much because Man U were good then. The years highlighted in this brilliant video I remember as me growing up from a boy, to teenager, to an adult. Maybe that is why it is so vivid. I remember all the big games, where I was, what I was doing and at what point in my life I was at. I don't care that Man City, Chelsea and Liverpool are now the dominant forces (although Man U have just beaten leaders Arsenal 3 - 1, 4th September 2022) so hopefully Eric "Gimme" Ten Hag can bring back some stability and hope. Things change, as they always do in life. I was just glad I lived through this era, as all fans would. My Dad, who left us in Feb 2020 (thankfully, pre-covid nonsense) was always the 1st one to back Fergie during any so called "crisis". How Fergie, even at the start, was considered in "crisis" is beyond me. Any real fan could see what he was doing and the improvement. The man was a genius and these people come around, but, once in a generation. I remember watching on the Saturday 1995 when Alan Hansen said his quote, "You win nothing with kids!". Apparently, Fergie posted that on the home changing room and anywhere the players would see it. They said it was one of the biggest motivating factors in the 1st Double. I always meant to send Alan a bottle of whiskey that year :)

    That 98/99 season will stay with me for a long long time. I was only 11 and remember crying as i watched that final thinking it was all over as the board went up for stoppage time. Always remember that commentary "SHERINGHAM, AND SOLSKJAER HAS WON IT" And to think some fans were desperate to get rid of Fergie just 9-10 years before it. Horrible to say this but we will never see another United manager quite like the boss again. The man is a legend and no words can do him justice. ❤️

    I don't think you gave enough emphasis on how huge the semi final vs Dortmund was in 1997, United would play Juventus a team that they felt they could match, both physically and tactically... It was basically the biggest chance for United and Cantona to win a European Cup.
    Cantona's retirement was coz he knew that a complete rebuild without him would result in them doing well in Europe again, as great as 99 was, Man Utd were underdogs in their group, underdogs vs Juventus and a miracle gave them the win in the final, 97 was different, they were actually good enough to win it, but the united team itself didn't have enough of a supporting cast to help Cantona. That's why he announced retirement IMMEDIATELY after that semi final defeat.
    Also the amount of choking Juventus were doing in the mid to late 90s is insane, they should've won the European Cup from 1996-1999 (They were THAT good)... Choked 2 finals and choked a home semi

      You could say that about various different events throughout the episode, the problem is in writing it could be tricky to give more emphasis on that within the context of the whole video.

When people make these films they have to pay money for the footage, they have a graphics team and a production team.. the give away that this is not the original is the amateur voiceover.. no professional company would do something so professional and then add a voiceover like this.

    I believe that Elber equaliser was the difference between United winning the group and being second. BTW replays show Elber was offside on one of the goals. Trebble might not have happened if United had a different path to the final. May have affected focus on the competitions. I think the difficult opponents and high rep clubs had a major part in pushing everyone.

    I went to Fergie’s first game as manager of United, against Oxford in 1986. We lost 2-0. I didn’t think that we would go on to do what we did that day. I was also at Ron Atkinson’s last game at United. A 4-1 defeat at Southampton. It would get worse before it got better. We were crap in the late 80’s. Mind you I still prefer the game back then compared to now. Great video. 👍👍

      Let's be honest though, we were missing our two most influential players in Keane and Scholes. There's no way Bayern would have dominated as much if they'd been playing, or had they been missing Basler, Matthaus or Scholl. Not that it mattered anyway! GGMU!

Sorry but I'm equating it to the two drawn group matches (during the away match to Bayern, Elber's first goal was bewilderingly allowed despite his clear offside), where both teams were very evenly matched, unlike the final. Sorry, but most people aware of football know that leaving Bayern aside for an moment, much of United's struggle in that game was down to them missing Keane and Scholes, two huge players for them in Europe that season! It's not 'blind' to suggest that.

    When I was 9 my dad's English best friend from Manchester told me about the 1999 Champions League final, he was in the stadium and said he was crying when Bayern were 1-0 up in the 85th minute. It was the first time I heard of this match and at the time it was just a crazy football story to me. He was also the reason my dad became a United fan alongside our local club which made me also want to be a United fan. He passed away in 2020 due to cancer, I wish I could have a conversation about the game with him or United in general now I have more knowledge and now my English is better. Rest in peace Johny

Cause local newspapers do refer to their respective teams as united eg Sheffield papers would call Sheffield United "United", same with Newcastle newspapers.
