Boro Classics | Boro 2 Man Utd 2 2008

Record signing Afonso Alves finally gets off the mark for the Boro with a double against Champions-elect Manchester United. Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are on target for the Red Devils.

Tuncay's turn at the end was just ridiculous !

Boro were a very tough side back then. I couldn't make this game but we really struggled, went the year after when we won 2-0 but again that was a tough game. In fact Boro had beaten Liverpool 2-0 to give us the advantage in the title race, so cheers lads!

We were such a tough team to beat back in the day. Kind of like a Leicester of Everton where we would finish mid-table every year but get quite a few points over the top 6. It is a shame that we can't finish in the top 6 in the Championship these days.

Crazy Boro against the most powerful team in the world in those years... Damn) I want that Boro now!

[@King786_]

Good game which i can fully remember. Alves was great and took his goals so well.

[@jpwartist]

Ferguson trolling Boro at the end regarding crowds. Pretty sure Boro had over 25,000 season ticket holders back then, the ground only holds 35,000.

[@SIRDKA]

He really let himself down with those comments. Small minded.

[@lukewalton997]

The fact we have seen the likes of Ronaldo and pique at the riverside is scary

Was it snow or rain?

[@SIRDKA]

It was snowing walking out at the end of the game despite being late in the season. Fortunately the locals had taken the precaution of wearing long sleeved shirts.
