90s football was a whole other animal

When football was all about playing for the badge and not money

hahaha this was the era it started at the time those united players were the best paid in the country ,, annoys me when united fans try and make out they had no investment then ..... was never organic btw BskyB funded your early transfers such as cantona .. enough of this bollox

I don't care how much people rave about Man City and Guardiola - Man Utd in their heydays were simply unplayable. Fast, direct and absolutely clinical. Utd played the best football ever in my opinion.

Oh Cantona - just sheer class

Thats the City I remember growing up, consistently poor.

A young Paul Scholes played along side Cantona, Kanchelkis, Hughes, Bruce, Pallister, Schmachiel, Ince, Irwin.

I went to this game, happy days!

Forget the football, the crowd was different back then. I wish we had that now.

I was at this match. Stayed in in a horrible B&B in Stretford that night. What a night. Amazing atmosphere

Better refs , better crowds an no bloody VAR , plus players who could take a tackle

The pace off the game these days is pedestrian compared to this. The highlights is enough for me now! 😵

Cope. You’re so irrelevant now people don’t even look to your results for a laigh

I can't place how old I was when the question of what team I supported was posed (by a fellow school chum). My dad was still actively playing at the time and I was keenly aware of the pageantry of the FA Cup final and how it was the only live televised match. I replied Manchester United without hesitancy but in reality I had no clue why. In 1965 Man U would win the league. In 66 they would destroy Benfica before falling short in Belgrade (of all places) in the European Cup, then win the league again in 67. In April of 68 my family emigrated to California. The first leg of Euro Cup semi against Real Madrid had been played but once in California, football as I knew it, ceased to exist. From family correspondence I eventually learned, via a snippet of a sentence, that Man U had won the 68 Euro Cup final but it would be the early 1990's before the Los Angeles Times started providing the scores of the English first division from Saturday followed (with the launch of the Premier League) by a sports oriented cableTV channel that primarily existed to air the home games of the LA Lakers basketball that somewhat randomly (you couldn't assume a particular day or time) inserted the hour long Sky Sports Premier league highlights show as filler. Finally a glimpse of real football. The last time I'd watched United they were on top and after 25 years here they were still on top. Kanchelskis impressed me to no end, as did Schmeichal. Then we moved from Los Angeles to San Diego and another (albeit brief) period of being in the dark. Finally a San Diego channel picked up the Premier League show. Where's Kanchelskis? Then I see him playing at Everton and question what idiot let him leave. The rest is history.

Can only live in the past if you actually have one.

One of the most one sided Manchester derby at that time

Rood to glory ❤times

I always think of this team as 'swashbuckling'. The were such fun to watch with Kanchelskis & Giggs haring down the wings and explosive Hughes & the ringmaster Cantona... Dennis Irwin no slouch, nor the other defenders. Hard not to mention all the team really. They had a naivety about them in a way as they always seemed to just want to attack. ... In some ways, my favourite of the successful teams, even if they were just the dawn and for a short period... 95 sees a lot of changes and as SAF started to be more canny in Europe, how they played changed. The Age of Innocence was over (even if it was the kids that brought it to an end).

I also remember very well following the Cantona to MUFC from Leeds Utd transfer in the papers (yep, 'the papers' then). I don't think I've ever been as happy with a signing as when that happened and if I remember well I don't think they paid a HUGE amount as Howard Wilkinson was not fond of him

Thanks for uploading this.

Oh how times have changed.

great pace of games from both team!!

wow, what an atmosphere, like a Champions league match...

Brilliant

That's football!!!

when old trafford was still 55,000 capacity

Kalchenski was the engineer.

thing about eric was you could pass at him any type of cross good or bad , he would bring it down and move it on !!

oh man look at that play from midfield start from @18:05 .... I remember this manutd

AJ all d way.....straight from naija

Football now can't do anything without card or free kick if touching them its not as a crazy omg feeling you used to get

That's a straight red for Sparky in 2024

Like reading a library book. Wonder if United will ever have a team like this again?

B4 the Dirty money arrived...115 charges later they land a Treble

Did Roy Keane actually kiss Kanchelskis there? He kept that quiet...

If any spanish player had that chance which Roy did the spanish one would score a goal. At that time and for long time after british players didn`t have a knowlege I`d say.

This won’t happen again for at least 50 years so basically we have to watch archive footage to see Manchester United play proper football

In those days there were probably less than 15 overseas players in the entire league (not including Republic of Ireland). It was rare and there were people who were questioning whether an increase in 'foreign' players was going to benefit the league or whether it would be difficult for them to adapt to the pace and physicality of the English game. Having the 2 foreigners score and assist 4 out of the 5 goals in a match like this would definitely be a talking point in the newspapers the following day. And yes... many of the newspapers were extremely xenophobic.
