Tell me which game is the greatest game we ever had? What do you think?
For me it's the 1999 FA Cup Semi-Final Replay against Arsenal.

Our performance in the 2005 FA Cup Final against Arsenal was one of the greatest performances I've ever seen a United team give. We lost on penalties but as my ould fella says, if football was decided on most chances created, Arsenal may aswell have gone home at half time. Ronaldo gave one of his best ever performances in a United shirt that day.

This is just my opinion though

Yeah, you've got to put the ball in the back of the net I know. But it was a victory for football nonetheless. United me proud that day.red dave said:
Juventus '99 is a classic. Proabably my favourite game of all time tbh. Keano became a footballing legend that night.

For me it was United v Sheff Weds 93 when brucie scored his two most famous goals for us . I really believed after that we would win the league for the first time in 26 years . Jesus that seems like an eternity ago .

99 Fa cup semi-final.
never in one game as so many highs and lows been experienced and then just as we are all praying to hang on for penalties, up pop ryan giggs for the goal he will be taking about to his grandkids.
its was pure football and one of the highlights on the road to the treble that season.
Anyone remember the pitch invasion afterwards, dont think we have had one since in a United game.

There have been games that I never saw Like the 68 cup final v benfica and there are games that Ive been too and lived through Like the 99 final and of course last year. But for me the best game I have ever been to is the 1984 cup winners cup second leg against Barcelona, I was 15 years old and Ive never witnessed an atmosphere like that, Robbo had Maradonna in his Pocket and we won 3-0. I helped carry Robbo off the pitch at the end. Unfortunatley poor quality pitch side mics never picked up the atmosphere of the night. The attendance said 66,000 but I saw hundreds sneaking in at my turnstile alone.

Umm, FA cup final v Liverpool not sure what year, but Cantona scored that volley that seemed to fly through everybody in the box - great. Or - for some reason not many people choosing this - The '99 game because of the way that Bayern were comfertable and we scored 2 in the dying minutes
