5 greatest moments in Manchester United's history

#4 The Treble, 1999

Manchester United was the first English club to win the European Cup, but despite Sir Alex Ferguson establishing his supremacy at the club and in the Premier League in the 1990s, European glory once again seemed like a dream. In 1999, Ferguson had already steered Man United to the title and also completed a domestic double by winning the FA Cup with ease, before the UEFA Champions League final against Bayern Munich.

Never before had any English club managed to win a treble and history beckoned the club, however, it wouldn’t be anywhere close to being easy as their domestic victories. This was especially since Roy Keane and Paul Scholes were both suspended for the final. And it proved to be so for major part of the game as Bayern took the lead and nearly added a second only for the woodwork to deny them.

The game was seemingly sealed at the end of 90 minutes until the world witnessed one of the greatest comebacks. In stoppage time, two corners from David Beckham were tenaciously processed to reach a destination that was the back of the net. Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer scored goals that left The Red Devils with goosebumps and the rest of the world shell-shocked. Manchester United had completed a historic treble of 1999.
