Whereas this winning side of the Red Devils may not have had as much quality as ones of the days past, there was still a certain twinkle in the eye of Sir Alex Ferguson when he collected his eighth Premier League title, even though his side hadn’t played the best football this season.
With Arsenal on top with an almost unassailable lead, they crumbled, and United found the gap. They dug deep and just about won the title. It was a thrilling title race, with this famous rivalry at its most bitter.
It still seems incredulous that the Gunners didn’t win the league, with Henry, Bergkamp, Keown, Cole, Viera, Pires, the list goes on. United were without Schmeichel, Stam, Beckham and Andy Cole. Even in their absence, Ferguson proved that he still had it.
