After a phenomenal 1-3 win in Paris, I trying to track down the first Man Utd game I watched. This is the game. First time I watch United, and the game made me fell in love since then.
I remember this match in my school summer holidays, I was only 12. It was the summer when Shearer decided to join his boyhood team Newcastle instead of Man Utd. I think it was a record £15m back then. Was so sad he didn’t join us but I guess he followed his heart, not his head
Far from it, I remember us losing 3 in quick succession that season, 5-0 to Newcastle, 6-3 to Southampton, and 2-1 to Chelsea. We weren't "untouchable", we were just better than every other team in the EPL at the time.. well, for 20 years :p
Season 97/98 is rebuilding...class '92 still growing...this season arsenal winner EPL with Arsene wenger...After that was the era of Man United ... with an arsenal that was always following
1st Goal-"Paul Scholars actually points to Beckham to pass the other way cause he sees Cantona." Hahaha that SatNav man can still pass even when he doesn't have the ball
@martinbond461 Despite the repeat of fixture congestion at the end of the season, which the League promised won't happen again after it cost us the title in 1992.
i just love this. its no wonder man u dominate for so long. as a complete neutral this is so good. i just dont like football nowadays . way preferred it then and up to about 2000/2001. just such a more different feel to it here
I was at Knebworth on this day watching Oasis. Heard rumours of the score through the crowd and surprised as expected Newcastle to be stronger with Shearer joining. Early days obviously...
Could You Imagine If Shearer Was Up Front With Cantona? Manchester United could have Easily go through the Whole Premier League Unbeaten at Old Trafford! Manchester United could have Beaten Juventus Twice & Beat Borussia Dortmund To Win The Champions League! Wouldn't Have Lost To Wimbledon In The FA Cup & Wouldn't Have Gone Out Early In The League Cup! Shearer Could Have Been A Premier League Winner 5 Times!
There was such a buzz about this season, coming straight after Euro 96. And this was a spectacular way to start it (for us at least). In the end it was quite an average Premier League season... oh well.
Agreed about the post ‘96 excitement. The “Express train to stop at Old Trafford” headlines regarding UTD signing of Poborsky. Liverpool signed Berger. The 15M pound Shearer. Great memories
first who scored was eric cantona then it was nicky butt with a header and then young david beckham scored and lobbed the goalkeeper and roy keane with a free kick
Why would he have a regret remember he wore the number 9 shirt of nufc / what is every boys dream being born a Geordie!! Captain of club & England at the same time & record goal scoring hero taking over the great Jackie milburn ?? Wish I had regrets like that mate
Lee Hope you must be a Geordie ? He was great a real centre forward but what has he to show for it ? Nothing no silverware nothing what would you rather have medals or sentiment?
I know what you saying mate & yes I am a Geordie mate & in my opinion if it was me yes I would give up all the medals!! Just to live his dream/ you got to be born Black n white to know what it means mate & that's not me being disrespectful to you by any means
It was actually better in my opinion than today. The Arsenal team of 1998 and Man Utd team of 1999 were phenomenal sides and contained better players than Man City currently have.
@@garymitrovic2503 Also, you realise just how many English players teams (apart from Chelsea) had in those days. It was just better that way - it meant more to them and to the fans, and they still played some brilliant football.
@@omalone1169you disagree? If so, fair enough. But I don't think you'll find any fans who watched football in the 70s/80s/90s and who also watch it today, who think it's better now than it was then.
That 2nd goal was absolute bliss..!! The class of 92' + Eric "the King" Cantona..
Classic United..!!
After a phenomenal 1-3 win in Paris, I trying to track down the first Man Utd game I watched. This is the game. First time I watch United, and the game made me fell in love since then.
I’ll bet you hated the 5-0 defeat to Newcastle later on in the season.
God I loved football back then, everything about it, great.
Two of the nicest kits in football history
Agreed, loved the UTD kit with the round crest centered in the middle of the jersey. Great kit, great team

I remember my mate insisting he knew someone at OT and that Shearer to United was a done deal. Then, he joined Newcastle.
He followed his wallet.
Gotta love Andy Gray
"Go on Nicky, put your head on it."
"...and Beckham says I'll have my Wembley goal thank you very much."
Sadly people forget because of how it ended with him at Sky but at his peak he was an amazing co-commentator.
I'm a liverpool fan, but this was pure class from United.
I was working in ibiza sitting in bucaneros watching this lol... Oh the memories
the days when man utd were untouchable

Beckham and Keane goals are amazing.
Cantona and Becks played on the same team. Good gawd.
That Beckham - Cantona chemistry was insane.
Cruyff, Cantona, Beckham, Schmeichel, Scholes and Pleborsky
Forgot about that save from Schmeichelat at 4:24
Wow.
Young Beckham, Scholes, Giggs, Butt, Neville brothers, with Cantona, Keane, Schmeicel love to see them .... memories
Keane was still pretty young here too
@@markgreen9085 just turned 25
I miss them days great times in the 90s
1st Goal-"Paul Scholars actually points to Beckham to pass the other way cause he sees Cantona."
Hahaha that SatNav man can still pass even when he doesn't have the ball
I play 5 a side football and I point if someone is in a better position 😂 it's one of the easier parts of the game, pointing lol.
Awful day pissed down with rain lost 4-0.Same 11 players started this game and the 5-0 win the following October..
Great times
And the same Man Utd side won the league comfortably again!
@@martinbond461 Sadly!
@martinbond461 Despite the repeat of fixture congestion at the end of the season, which the League promised won't happen again after it cost us the title in 1992.
Scholes ghost assist for the first goal. wow.
Andy Gray is a legend
Wow Butt actually got a scorcher! He missed a few in his time, good to see one go in
I was actually in! My only match in old Wembley
i just love this. its no wonder man u dominate for so long. as a complete neutral this is so good. i just dont like football nowadays . way preferred it then and up to about 2000/2001. just such a more different feel to it here
You said this 9 years ago and football's gotten even worse since then.
Becks played the pass, Scholes played Beck.
I was at Knebworth on this day watching Oasis. Heard rumours of the score through the crowd and surprised as expected Newcastle to be stronger with Shearer joining. Early days obviously...
What a great year, Oasis at Knebworth and Euro 96 in England!
4:24 Now that, ladies and gents, is goalkeeping.
Could You Imagine If Shearer Was Up Front With Cantona?
Manchester United could have Easily go through the Whole Premier League Unbeaten at Old Trafford!
Manchester United could have Beaten Juventus Twice & Beat Borussia Dortmund To Win The Champions League!
Wouldn't Have Lost To Wimbledon In The FA Cup & Wouldn't Have Gone Out Early In The League Cup!
Shearer Could Have Been A Premier League Winner 5 Times!
4.56 - Look at that barnett! Oh Gary Neville what were you thinking??? 🙈
i know this match.. the first falling in love for Manchester United.. after euro 96
Utd were awesome that afternoon.
RED KEV back in the day when Manchester United used to make people smile!
ffs bring Andy Gray bacl
Who’s here because of the ‘Beckham’ documentary on Netflix?

Beckhams lob reminds me of phillipe alberts lob on that tragic tragic day. That 5-0 was up there with the most painful defeats i ever remember
and then in school everyone was like "what time is it? 5 past Schmeichel"
0:50 RIP goalkeeper
Newcastle didn’t turn up for this game despite it being Shearer’s debut. Keegan had not learned anything from his leaky defence.
even in these days sky were showing too many replays
Hell of a team that!
Legendary moments players
Highlights don't show how easy it was. I was there and I thought if United tried, they could have had ten. Shearer made such a good choice. 😉
Beckham MOTM: 2 assists and 1 great goal
2nd goal... magic
Gordon Flood fantastic header
"I would LOVE IT if we beat them, LOVE IT!!"
Alan Shearer, what a difference you have made
first who scored was eric cantona then it was nicky butt with a header and then young david beckham scored and lobbed the goalkeeper and roy keane with a free kick
Newcastle on that day with David ginola,les ferdinand,alan shearer...but Can't Win againts Man united...
I'll love it if we beat them.
6:06 offside trap obliterated
Awesome that. That was when United were exciting to watch. Sadly United are as mundane now as the rest of the PL. Winning is all. Money is God.
The Charity Shield, where the winners of Premier League and F.A Cup meet to de...
ohh wait.
tbh, the newcastle defence were half asleep that day
second best team in England though, at the time
FA cup semifinal??? or Comunity Shield?
Pablo Tupone community shield.
Great goals, but Newcastles defence was terrible.
Beckham's only Wembley goal...?
Fog on the tyne
Poor old Alan signed for the wrong United he must be still regretting it
He signed for HIS team do you not get it yet !!! He signed for the 1st United
Lee Hope YEs I know why he did what he did he's a Geordie but what did he win nowt there must be some regret
Why would he have a regret remember he wore the number 9 shirt of nufc / what is every boys dream being born a Geordie!! Captain of club & England at the same time & record goal scoring hero taking over the great Jackie milburn ?? Wish I had regrets like that mate
Lee Hope you must be a Geordie ? He was great a real centre forward but what has he to show for it ? Nothing no silverware nothing what would you rather have medals or sentiment?
I know what you saying mate & yes I am a Geordie mate & in my opinion if it was me yes I would give up all the medals!! Just to live his dream/ you got to be born Black n white to know what it means mate & that's not me being disrespectful to you by any means
Sky sports commertary hasn't been as good since Andy gray left. Alan Smith is dull as ditch water
Schooled.
english football in the 90's were sucks. man united was way too dominating.
