About a year before Eric signed and helped finally get us over the line! Not winning it in 92 in hindsight might have been a blessing in the end as they learnt from it and they might not have got Cantona had they won it that year! Also great to see sir Matt on this 👍🏻
This is the perfect example of giving a manager time to make a difference and what a difference. I hope arteta can emulate even half of what fergie did for united
@@mangofangoe315 Arteta seems to be doing well at the moment and turned a corner at Arsenal. Time and patience is the key in football particularly with how split the fanbase was on him in 2020/21.
on that same episode of sportsnight was a feature on the A-Z of penalty kicks, with music from the KLF and Primal Scream. You dont happen to have that as well do you?
@@stevenattias1803 We wouldn't be the club we are today that's all I know. We could've been similar to what Everton are today but you never know in football. Maybe we would get a top class manager in the 90s and he'd build a successful team. Maybe some Oligarch or wealthy Arab owner would buy this club who knows. In the 80s we were seen as a big club nowhere near as big as we are today but still big not many English sides had won the European Cup then. However we had a massive drought without a title in the 80s we were relegated more recently then when we last won the title.
@@ReubenSempleJones I agree with your assessment. I am a late follower of the United. I didn't become a fan until 2003 when I was 29. I made a friend in Manchester in 2001 from a UK AOL chat room. I visited her in Manchester in May 2003 right after the United won the premiership. I became a big Beckham fan and just my luck he we was sold to Real Madrid. Then about a year or so later the New York Yankees station YES Network signed s deal to air United games. It wasn't until the last couple of years that I became an avid fan with having the United App and Peacock and Paramount plus. Apps I could follow everything. Plus content on TH-cam. I have learned a lot. I played soccer in the late 1970s when I was little. All I knew was Pele and the New York Cosmos. Lol
@@stevenattias1803 You are alot older than I am. I grew up watching players such as Rooney. I'm from the South of England so I probably shouldn't be a United supporter but I am. If I'm being honest I probably wasn't the best answer for the 80s question anyway my guess is just from watching old matches and seeing where we were finishing in the League. In the 2010 World Cup I was only about 7 at the time they were selling packs of cards at the petrol station of England players. The first player I got was Rooney and I remember being told he was a good player. From then on he became my favourite player and eventually I became a United fan because of it. I'd say I got into football late for English standards most people get into football younger than 7 but that's because we are a passionate footballing country. I was unfortunate enough not to get into it earlier to watch Ronaldo play for United so having him join United now is a blessing.
@@ReubenSempleJones I hear you. Needless to say I have a closet full of jerseys. Lol I have 4 Beckham jerseys one being a Real Madrid one. I have a Roy keane 99 jersey, Paul Scholes 99 jersey , 2 Eric cantona jerseys, I have a Ronaldo 2008 which I can wear again. I have a Ryan Giggs 99 jersey. I have a Messi Barcelona that now is a classic. Lol I have a Maradona Argentina jersey thst young people think is a Messi. Lol I have a 1970 Pele Brazil Jersey that people think is Neymar. Lol I also have a Pele 1977 New York Cosmos jersey. I recently bought a 2020 USA Christian pulisic jersey. I was thinking about getting a Rooney jersey but I don't have enough room .lol
He had already started to win some silverware, but this era feels like when the part of the rollercoaster just before the ride gets all crazy full speed.
Nobody wants to see their team constantly lose but when its other clubs in hindsight you just wonder if the right manager with the right players are just having A bad season & got the chop too quickly. . in recent years only Fergie & Wenger,s job seamed to be damn near safe regardless.
I remember thinking in 1991 when Manchester United won the cup winners cup that the job would be Alex Ferguson's for as long as he wanted it. I was right.
Who did he mean at the start when he (The Gaffer) said “good ball Jules” ?? Obviously it was McClair who finished, I remember most of the 91 team like, have I forgot someone. Help please???👍
we didn't win any of the cups didn't we? that was beyond shitty. the worst was probably losing the league at anfield getting beaten 0-4 by an aging Liverpool side.
@@wngmv you’re thinking of the game in 90/91 when we lost 4-0 at anfield, Beardsley hat trick. I was there. I was also there when we lost the league at Anfield 91/92 2-0 defeat. Horrible day.
Big Ron looking fresh there in his 90s Joe Bloggs yellow orange and blue shell suit... Good job he never got a statue really. Would be in the Irwell by now.
Tommy Docherty: if they don't win it this year, it could be a while before they do. ( They didn't, and it wasn't, 12 months to be exact). If Docherty knew what was happening behind the scenes.. he would have never said that. Most people in the know knew that even if they did blow it which they did, that it was coming
Aberdeen were a far better team than this Manchester team to win the EUROPEAN CUP with George Best. This Aberdeen also won the Super Cup.Fabulous team with fabulous Scottish Talent.Had our Scottish international squad stuck with those players then who knows what could have been achieved????
The last top division club to lose a final against a non top division club was Alex Ferguson's Man Utd losing the league cup to Ron Atkinson's Sheffield Wednesday in 1991.
Ron Atkinson left with a parking space, Fergie left with a whole stand
And a big statue.
@@redherring4119 and a street named after him

Mike Eyles I think you’re right. 91/92 just wasn’t our time to win it. And Eric was certainly the missing piece.
Glad Sir Matt saw us win the league again as well.

Fergie had won a lot at Aberdeen before coming to United. Can't say the same about Arteta.
@@mangofangoe315 Arteta seems to be doing well at the moment and turned a corner at Arsenal. Time and patience is the key in football particularly with how split the fanbase was on him in 2020/21.
Brilliant upload. Any footage of pre knighted Fergie fascinates me massively.
'Fergie was once known to have a short fuse' lol
Someone must have been bad at counting then lol

You dont happen to have that as well do you?
Cantona and Kanchelskis were the difference. Then Keane took United up another level.
Asking as an American from New York, what would have happened if Alex Ferguson was fired in 1988 like fans and media wanted?

I remember thinking in 1991 when Manchester United won the cup winners cup that the job would be Alex Ferguson's for as long as he wanted it. I was right.
Biggest surprise for me in that clip was seeing Mark Hateley destroy a defender with a burst of pace .
Who did he mean at the start when he (The Gaffer) said “good ball Jules” ??
Obviously it was McClair who finished, I remember most of the 91 team like, have I forgot someone. Help please???👍
Giuliano Maiorana.
John Kealy wow........I’m a 35 year MUFC fan, but didn’t know that player!!!
Thanks for that👍
Made his debut against Arsenal at Old Trafford in 1988/89. Great prospect who had his United career ended by injury.
THey gave him 5 years!
Nowadays they won't give anyone 5 months.
Did i hear that right? 132k people turned up for a Scottish cup final? They need to bring standing sections back
My Father went to an England game there and I think he said the crowd was around 148k !!! the record I believe is 149k.
Celtic played Leeds in the European cup semi final in 1970 at Hampden park and there was 136,000 there.
4 games in 7 days took it away from us that season but next season we finally won it and built from there
Mr Kipling Had they not signed Cantona,they wouldn’t have launched to what they did ! GGMU !!
Mr Kipling And they were victims with the league cup run which caused the fixture pile up !!
And had they won it in 92 they probably would’ve got Shearer !

" Maiorana's back!" he says... alas, it was not to be.

fergie was lucky...But legendary... give the right manager time, and things can turnaround in football in an instant...
Fergie Out!
Red Rebel You’re not wrong.
If Sportsnight wasn’t in the title this would get more views !!
Couldn’t keep giggsy away from his sister in law though 🤣
Tommy doc, “ they had a good start? “ we lost the first three games.
Different season. They lost the first two the next year
Sounds like Erik Ten Hag!
