Topics Alex Ferguson Manchester United features. Cristiano Ronaldo was beginning to show that he was not simply a flash in the pan.

Wayne Rooney starred as possibly the most gifted English player of his generation. There was success in Europe as well, a second Champions League title came after the first all-English final against Chelsea in Moscow.

However, it was the arrival of a new side that would change the face of English football. Manchester City , backed by oil-rich Sheikh Mansour, would become a new force that would demonstrate the importance of money in the modern game.

The victory that encapsulated what Manchester United were like under Alex Ferguson. Ruthless, trophy-hungry, with that all important never-say-die attitude. Trailing for almost the entire match after Mario Basler gave Bayern Munich a lead, somehow United pulled a rabbit out. Teddy Sheringham gave United life one minute into added time and, just moments later, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made history. A corner from David Beckham, a flick-on from Sheringham, and Solskjaer poked into the roof of the net.

The Bayern players needed lifting off the ground, such was their despair. Arguably not one of his most memorable moments, as it centred more on Kevin Keegan imploding. Yet, this was the perfect example of mind games becoming synonymous with how Ferguson managed. After squeezing past a Leeds United side with ten men and Lucas Radebe in goal, he took to the media. One self-destruction later, an image of Keegan slumped over an advertising hoarding summed it up. Manchester United.
