Enter Arsene Wenger. When he took over in 1996, many questioned his methods. He had completely changed the culture at the club and players who initially doubted his nous for the job soon found themselves healthier and were even able to extend their careers.

So when the 1997/98 season got underway, Sir Alex Ferguson got his first taste of the rivalry that would soon be one of the main factors that would define his legacy. Wenger and Ferguson's sides were the clear front-runners although the Gunners trailed the Red Devils for most of the season.

However, a run of 10 wins towards the end of the season saw Arsenal pip United to the title by a single point! To top it off, Arsenal also won the FA Cup despite playing three replays (third, fifth, and sixth rounds), beating Kenny Dalglish's Newcastle in the final.

To continue playing and not losing as they did in the league and Cup was a testament to his squad's fitness and Wenger deservedly finished with two trophies - his first double and Arsenal's second in their entire history.
