5 reasons why the victory over Newcastle would bring back the glory days to Manchester United

#2 It would bring back the fear factor and never-say-die attitude to Old Trafford

West Bromwich Albion v Manchester United - Premier League

Under Sir Alex Ferguson, United gained a reputation of being hard not to crack, and always having never losing their belief in any match.

There are numerous examples of matches where United were seemingly down and out, but rallied from behind to snatch victories from the jaws of defeat, with the Champions League final against Bayern in 1999 where they were a goal down with one minute remaining but triumphed in injury time to win the cup is the most famous.

This cold-hearted belief and never-say-die attitude led to the coinage of the term ‘Fergie Time’, referring to the dying embers of a match where United usually came from behind and meant that opposing teams never took a victory for granted no matter how comfortable their position was.

Since their legendary manager’s departure, the reverse has been the case, as United have been lacking in spine and confidence to snatch victory from defeat.

Whenever they went behind, heads were always quick to drop and there were never indications in their play to suggest that they could play their way back to victory.

When United went two goals behind to Newcastle, anybody would have been forgiven for thinking it would be one of those days, but the performance in the last periods where United scored three goals in the final 20 minutes were reminiscent of Fergie Time.

With this come from behind victory, opposing clubs would once more begin to take note of United’s resilience much like it was in the old days and how it is supposed to be at a club the stature of Manchester United.
