So proud to say I was there..took my dad! He said it was the best night of football he'd ever seen. We always spoke about that match. He sadly passed away a week before Christmas last year 😢❤
The level of this era is phenomenal. Rooney got tackled and stood up right away to pass the ball, playing most of the game with such high energy. Rooney is the reason I love United, and I've never looked back. 🔥🔥🔥
@@JohnKobaRuddywhy? Supporting the team based on where you were born is just stupid cause you didn’t choose where that was. This reason for supporting united means much more than just being from there. Also how do you progress in your career if you just stay in the same place because it’s where you’re football team is and everything about you has to be based on that. Idiot.
I was just thinking that. I always remember how good Sung was but watching this again reminded me how important Fletcher was to the team allowing the forwards room to express themselves
@@eXpressYourselfClips At the time, Fletcher was one of the most underrated United players. Fergie always picked him for the big games and everyone always just assumed its cos he's a Scot, but performances like this one, and the ones against Arsenal and City in the same season, prove how good Fletcher really was.
This was the era I began watching football and getting into it. Park was always my favourite player and I had no idea why. I was young and every time I’d just wanna watch park. He was my absolute favourite man united player.
2 engines fletcher and 3 lungs park , as Ferguson said. Both are exactly what utd lack these days, commitment, dedication, energy levels. Also the ability to listen to there manager and play there roles.
The Rooney documentary on Prime is great, forgot just how big the expectations were, it was like Messi levels. We could do with another Rooney right about now 😔
That roar and applause from the United fans when Beckham came on, not many ex players who were still playing for another club would get that sort of welcome back ❤
Most other player would get booed but Beckham is man Utd treble's best player for sure. He should just end his career in man Utd along with Scholes and Fergie not in PSG.
Even when he struck that ball I remember thinking it’s a goal, and the Man United fans even reacted as if he shot that in a United shirt, loyalty at its finest
@@justinsmexcept for di Maria and tevez I've never seen an ex player return and get booed.. My first game at OT was when Chicha debuted for west ham, he hit a great reception, I was so happy to get to see him play live
@@nomorechain MALDINI, CAFU just retire, R9 just came back to Brazil and everyone else not young anymore like Inzaghi, Nesta, Beckham, Ronaldinho just partying too much no wonder Pep sold him straight away, Kaka just moved too. Man Utd just have better squad even though with Neville, Scholes, and Giggs.
@justinsm Ronaldinho was partying yes but he did better in 2010 then he did in 2008 his last season with Barça. Top Serie A assists and a few great performances
He played the 11/12 season there too and scored 34 goals as well. We didn't win anything major and I think that's because Rooney was better and made us better playing that bit deeper
His son's doing very well in the academy.. we can only hope he'll do just as well as his Dad! Wayne started senior at 16 so maybe in 3 years we'll see another another Rooney on the squad :)
Despite all the accolades Rooney received, he's still probably one of the most underrated players in United's history. He could have achieved much more had he not sacrificed part of his play to make way for Ronaldo.
As a united fan, I miss Rooney, but I don't think any of us united fans underrated Rooney, I think it's the rest of the world that do. He really was an incredible player all over the pitch.
That 09 10 season from Rooney right after CR7 left to Real Madrid was absolutely phenomenal. I remember him being in the headlines for 80% of Uniteds games week in week out. His best individual season and most on form he ever was throughout his career. Underrated player Rooney
It’s sad to see the state of the current team compared to this. The deliveries for these goals and the finishing is beyond the current team. The team should be made to watch games like this again to remember the standard that’s expected.
I always thought Rooney was lazy. He is aggressive and angry in the attack not a workaholic. Happened to be a dirty player but usually had somewhat the right mentality in these matches. Beckham was not a workhorse. That would be like Park. Good for Rooney to score 3 goals but I always felt like he was overrated and got special and preferential treatment from Fergie because he was British and played rough and dangerously every time he was on the pitch which is not necessarily a good thing. Ferguson held him in high regard and gave him more chances than others even when he was bad-tempered and irritable. I can only imagine how it was like to lose with Rooney, Giggs, Ferdinand, Ferguson & Ronaldo in your team they seem like they would be sore and petty losers afterwards a lost game. That's bad sportsmanship in soccer and something Man Utd squad should not be proud of doing. Rooney scored tons of goals but that doesn't make me like him. I thought he was immature and he usually threw temper tantrums like a baby every match. Seemed to be a bit of a ruthless bully.
Beckham showing his class, what a volley. Put in some lovely crosses too. Milan had a retirement home at this point in time but wow what a treat it must have been to see all these stars on a weekly basis.
People forget how good he was, might be the best kicker of a ball in any sport or any year. Sure he didn't have loads to his game but what he did, he did better than anyone before or since.
@@fszron but Beckham was made history and give the most contribution to man Utd only treble. The first club to do it in top 5 leagues. Figo much better in 2000 in his betrayal year.
That front 6 is built around Paul scholes, 2 engines fletcher and 3 lungs park as fergie once quoted them to win the ball and get it to scholes , Valencia and Nani fly wingers for scholes to find with his long passing, and Rooney spearheaded the attack with ultimate running of the channels and changed football with his pressing abilities. Scholes is actually underrated if you think of the players on the pitch and he can control the game and make that front 6 do what he wants from them.
Tevez, Rooney and Park pressing was legendary when they played. They chased everything and you had Carrick to mop up behind them and arguably the best back 5 in PL history.
When the game had no control. Paul always had one or two to get it back under control. Only Few could hold down a midfield like scholes. Scholes returned from retirement to hold it down one more time for United. Legend!
@@ericcire630Not to the same extent they weren’t but you are right, people have always dived. The difference when you look at these two teams compared to now was just the ridiculous amount of talent, these guys (with the exception of Nani) would prefer to stay on their feet.
Can't watch it any more... this time was just about ok but for real football just watch the Big Match reruns on Freeview, games from 70s and 80s even into the 90s it was like a different sport. Men's football.
I'll never forget Rooney what a striker 🎉⚽️ I remember this night like it was yesterday. Under Ferguson United were great 👍 More than 2 decades of incredible football!
Rooney was the spirit of Man Utd personified. Played on the left, in the middle solo and with a partner, and everywhere in midfield. No matter what, if he was on the pitch, you got 100% no excuses. Truly exceptional player. I think England's best.
I was born in 1990. Mid nineties Ajax was the best club of the world. I have a brother who is about 7 years older. He infected me with the Ajax and it’s part of us ever since. When Dennis Bergkamp joined Arsenal he became Arsenal fan as well straight away. I remember when our grandmother gave us our first console. It was a Nintendo. The one where you had to put the game in from above. I couldn’t really compete with my older brother but he always wanted to play with Arsenal. I needed a competitive team as well and he advices me to pick Man United. The first name I remember is Marc Hughes and I never stopped following the club. It’s so painful to see that a club with a history like that and a fighting DNA that always was so recognizably never survived the greatness of Sir Alex. Wayne Rooney give me so much warm memories. As a fan, if I’m allowed to consider myself as such at least. But also in so many years of playing FIFA on the PlayStation. The development of a hard working kid becoming world class was a joy to follow. Well, I know you don’t give a shit about my melancholic story but for me it’s great to look back sometimes. Hope the red flag will flying high again someday. Glory Man United.
what about bobby charlton. survived munich air disaster, helped rebuild matt busby's team, won their first european cup, won england's world cup, broke club and international goalscoring records...
Rooney, Carrick and Irwin most underrated players in the 30+ years I have followed united. Park was never underrated by united fans we knew he was a game changer and the rest I.e. Scholes, Beckham, Keane you could go on for years. Everyone knew their worth but forgot the grafters
people who haven't seen wazza play underrate him i think. those who have, know what a beast he was. anger, hunger, power, technique, vision, speed, the prick had it all. world-class.
@hismikeness4840 sacrificed his game to do the leg work for others, to name a few Ronaldo, Van Persie etc etc. Underrated because people see the amount of games and say a striker should have scored more. His all round game was what made him special but people look at numbers
Any TRUE football fan will forever hold a place in their heart for Rooney AND Ronaldinho(Sorry Becks but levels) - 2 opposite sides of a coin. One who brought joy to football with a childlike brazilian flamboyance, style and smile... The other brought joy with an adult like determination, heart and ability. As fans whatever we 'prefer' doesnt mean we shouldn't appreciate all styles of play!
I remember this match. I remember that green red shoes. I remember Park Ji Sung run tirelessly like fuckin zombie bull covering the field, pressing Pirlo and anyone near the box. It was all about mentality > skill. What a great time as football fans.
What a game this was. It’s a testament to United that they won by such a large margin because Milan had so many chances. This United defence was a brick wall. Even with an ageing Gary Neville at right back. The last great Manchester United team.
Oh how I miss the United of that era - the passion, the togetherness, the quality, the panache... Things have been hard for us since 2013 and it does not seem to get any better.
On a side note, Ronaldinho was playing alone and second Nani will forever be extremely underrated, he was always compared to Cr7 and that's just not fair, Nani was world class dude had everything.
Totally agree with how unfair he was compared to ronaldo but nani was never world class. Too inconsistent to be considered world class. He was unplayable at times. Sheer class, but then he'd be crap for a couple of games.
Ronaldinho had so much talent and just pure skill. Every Milan play started with him despite the fact that he looks incredibly out of shape. If he hadn’t partied so hard in his prime who knows how good he could’ve been.
@@aranyaismdid you even watch the 2 legs? United had the beating of them, especially in the 2nd leg at Old Trafford. United were done in thanks to a deflected free kick in the first leg and an exceptional goal by Robben in the 2nd leg after the referee had sent Rafael off.
Rooney did it all, beast of a player will go down as an absolute legend & hopefully it won't be long before Old Trafford is singing Rooney Rooney Rooney all over again with his son Kai
11 wonders of Alex Ferguson beating the mighty Milan comprises of Inzaghi, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Pirlo etc with a team of Fletcha, Gibson, Park.. Just Amazing.
Putting Park in the same category as Fletcher and Gibson is wild. Fletcher and Gibson where fine players but Park was something else, one of the best man-markers and box to box midfielders ever. If you watched United in 2008 you would realise just how important he was for the CL win that year.
@@johannsebastienbach Yes indeed.👍 .Sure he would have 'Padded his Goal stats' but he was a lot more than just a centre forward!..And we know SAF did wonders for Man UTD,(CR7,Eric Cantona and many others)but not for Wayne Rooney! .And there's an point that most ignore ( and purely Hypothetical of course) but can u imagine if Rooney had gone to Spain&with all of the time and dominance of Real or Barc not having fun..He would have tore the place up!
When I hear Man U fans hope for titles with the current team I always want to remind them how champions play like. Our best player right now cannot do that run by Nani to provide the second goal. Breaking at such speed and pushing a pass, and Rooney's timing within razor blade margins is the difference between good teams and super good teams.
Rooney was very underrated in the history of United. The guy was a complete beast! Best, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, etc. Rooney is definitely on that list!
I pity those who can’t remember how good Rooney really was. They say his career was a failure…that’s one hell of a failure! Wonderful player to watch and one of the top 3 or 4 players England has ever produced.

Park was a beast. Had an engine like a neuclear submarine.
I miss these days watching this amazing team and being proud
Peak Rooney was a joy to watch!
Peak rooney was 03-06 though
@victorkreig6089 Nah peak Rooney was 2003-09
Smua pemain MU the best is power sungguh imposible
Rooney this man is so underrated...he sacrificed his position so many times.... for me he's the greatest ever to ever do it for Manutd
Jose screwed Rooney for Man U putting him a a central midfielder and making him leave
What a crazy on goal shot from Beckham...
I'm so glad I got to see Rooney in his pomp. Best player ever
nani on his day was unreal so underrated and he’s still playing to this day 💯
That ball from nani though for the 2nd 🔥🔥
I miss this level of football, the utter quantity of magicians.. I fear we will never see such brilliance ever again.
Rooney did it all, beast of a player will go down as an absolute legend & hopefully it won't be long before Old Trafford is singing Rooney Rooney Rooney all over again with his son Kai
Today is 23/11/2023 I nearly shear tears 😢😢😢 when watching this highlight.United now a days is not like United before
4:48 what a pass by Nani for the Rooney goal
Yes,but that was a difficult finish made look easy...A Romario trademark finish..
Champions league football and Clive’s commentary go together so beautifully
The volley by Beckham was a great shot
The quality of Nani's pass for the second goal was amazing
11 wonders of Alex Ferguson beating the mighty Milan comprises of Inzaghi, Beckham, Ronaldinho, Pirlo etc with a team of Fletcha, Gibson, Park..
Just Amazing.
Young hungry team with the best striker in the world decimate some bloated has beens would be another angle.
All way past their prime except Pirlo though.
Putting Park in the same category as Fletcher and Gibson is wild. Fletcher and Gibson where fine players but Park was something else, one of the best man-markers and box to box midfielders ever. If you watched United in 2008 you would realise just how important he was for the CL win that year.
@@BrizyyEven Fletcher and Gibson isnt a proper comparison. Gibson was nowhere near the level of Fletch or Park lmao
And a young Thiago Silva
Ronaldinho memang sangat luar biasa pada zamannya
People forget just how good Rooney was, this was an era of football where the world wasn't only following 2 players, you were spoilt for choice.
I swear, playing fifa or winning 11 there were numerous teams to choose cus they had legendary players
I miss this United 😢 Nani, Valencia, Ji sung they gave everything, All of it
Amazing Ronaldinho ❤
I miss these days. Not just for football but life also
The season Rooney proved he can play 9.
Never in doubt (imo) but he had so much to offer in so many other area's of the field!
@@jerryoshea3116 I agree! He has so many tools. That time in Korea we used to say 'Messi dribbles, Ronaldo scorers, and Rooney plays'
But not worth it. Wastes his crearivity
@@hajachimchak6279as lone ateget man in england its msassive waste
@@johannsebastienbach Yes indeed.👍 .Sure he would have 'Padded his Goal stats' but he was a lot more than just a centre forward!..And we know SAF did wonders for Man UTD,(CR7,Eric Cantona and many others)but not for Wayne Rooney! .And there's an point that most ignore ( and purely Hypothetical of course) but can u imagine if Rooney had gone to Spain&with all of the time and dominance of Real or Barc not having fun..He would have tore the place up!
These guys really had a heart to die for the team.
When I hear Man U fans hope for titles with the current team I always want to remind them how champions play like. Our best player right now cannot do that run by Nani to provide the second goal. Breaking at such speed and pushing a pass, and Rooney's timing within razor blade margins is the difference between good teams and super good teams.
I like and watched the video just because of Wayne Rooney. As he's my favorite United player, eventhough he didn't play anymore.
I pity those who do not know the beast rooney was in this era
These professionals are so good which makes so crazy how Messi and Ronaldo make it look easy
Imagine if Rooney had Beckham assisting him every weekend at United...
I was at this game its the first time iv seen it again unbelievable
Rooney was very underrated in the history of United. The guy was a complete beast! Best, Cantona, Beckham, Ronaldo, etc. Rooney is definitely on that list!
This was the best night I ever had at old Trafford
The reception to David Beckham was amazing! The tv cameras really don’t capture the atmosphere
Van der sar and man u defense were solid. Rooney was incredible
At 6.09 : "Protest against the glazer regime"
Still there...😢
I forgot how damn good Rooney was. Dude had the perfect mix of skill, aggression, and work ethic on the field.
The eagerness, togetherness, fighting spirit, leadership quality,is far superior to our current team
I come to see Rooney. But all I see is Ronaldinho… Best player ever. What a legendddddd 👊🏻👊🏻
Love it when Beckham warming up at 5:43 also added in to the highlights of the game
Always rated Park very highly. Ran his socks off.... Respect
If you never watch this team you misses alot
Rafael what a cross for that 4th goal. Been lacking a right-back that can cross like that for years since he left.
park was always untidy on the ball but very effective....
Good era that. So many great players with character. Had a great tempo to it this game. Bet it was great to be at. At least I caught it on tv 🙌🏻
6:43 Ji Sung Park!!!🇰🇷🇰🇷
Ronney best player in the word ❤
I pity those who can’t remember how good Rooney really was. They say his career was a failure…that’s one hell of a failure! Wonderful player to watch and one of the top 3 or 4 players England has ever produced.
At this current time, football was beautiful by mufc. Just pure art
Still waiting for Wayne Rooney replacement at Old Trafford
We haven't had a proper striker since rvp. All the others have either been a fail or past their prime.
He's a one off mate.
@@ashwinraphaelthat is true. Not even rashford. I'll choose chicharito over any forwards we had in the past 8yrs
@@Pat14922sounds cliche but it's very true concerning Rooney
