This was a delight to watch. It’s nice to watch these old games when you’re older and actually understand football. The formations, style of play and the fact that playing out from the back was a rarity.
Indeed. Very direct, individual flare, so much more exciting. Miss those games. Nowadays, players often opt for safer passes (slow buildup) because the fact that dominating possession gives you a better winning chance (statistically).
Yes I Would go with that to mate they where the best of times of course mate yeah I don't think we will see thack again mate because we just senpend money now we don't haveing any eny youth Players now with we need to get more youth Players now come on Utd 🔱🙏🔱💯👍 please ❤
This is perhaps one of sir Alex Ferguson's best teams he's coached in his coaching career, what a team it was!!, Little wonder we won the champions League after this season
That United team from 1996-2001 and 2006-2011 were two of the best teams ever in the last 30-40 years. 96-2001 team won 5 PL titles in 6 years, first ever team to do a Treble, PL and FA Cup double in 1996, and all with 7 youth academy players in the squad of 15. 2006-2011: 4 PL titles in 5 years, 3 UCL finals in 4 years! Sir Alex🐐
I started playing football at 16, and i don't care about becoming professional or anything, i play it because there is no other sport that gets your heart pumping the way football does, it really does make you feel alive for some time.
This Man United team had a great blend of youth and experience. Old reliable heads like Giggs, Scholes and Van der Sar mixed with Carrick, Rooney and Ronaldo.
I was baby back then and only get to see Ronaldo as a winger. It's so weird to see him as a mid fielder and barely getting touches on the ball or attempting shots. Man I wish I understood Football when Man Utd was in its prime.
watching this game today, you see how much the glory days of UTD were due to just passion, hard work, chasing lost causes. This is one of the ingredients missing for the past decade. ETH has got us on the path to discipline, now the quality needs to return.

Evra at RB is an interesting choice. Fergie could've easily used Brown at RB and used Heinze and Rio as the CB duo. But this man's gamble always pays off more often than not
6:58 watch Carrick position his body to receive the ball then ask the player to put it where he wants it. Then the left foot pass thru. He did these things 20 times a game

I think it was better the season they won the UCL
Young rooney was ruthless and direct, not doing too much and only focused on scoring or assisting. Easily the best player on the pitch.
That's what's Fergie will do to a 17 yr old
HE sucked tho.. he banged 12 goals average a season... his best seasons were 2009-2011 were he scored 28goals.. b

Rooney can never be the best on the pitch if Ronaldo is on it too
Rooney was the best player on the pitch this match, makes me realize how under appreciated he really is as a football legend.
51:00 look how humble is ronaldo he kicks ball out after seeing opponent injured 🥹

Forever Ronaldo!❤

its amazing that every player knows to do pretty everything, passing, defending, attacking.
Alan Smyth with 2 assists and a superb performance. Thank you, Smudge.
Imagine it's 2007 right now and we're going to experience it once again.
28:28 ronaldo's positioning was unreal
how that is unreal?? XDDD

Come on man why
the chemistry of the team is just different to nowdays. You can see the players always gives 110%
People talking about Rooney and rightly so, but Scholes and Carrick absolutely ran that midfield
Carrick was average!
@@bigmade7739 🤡🤡
Bons tempos do Man United, isso que era time de verdade!!!
none in this comment give much credit for alan smith, what a player

It is nice to see the flow of gameplay is not hindered by VAR 50 times.
Back when watching United was something exciting to look forward to
A real pleasure to watch true MU, with spirit and top class players managed by Sir Alex Ferguson.
watching this game today, you see how much the glory days of UTD were due to just passion, hard work, chasing lost causes. This is one of the ingredients missing for the past decade. ETH has got us on the path to discipline, now the quality needs to return.
ETH hahahahaha what a rubbish manager
che spettacolo, bellissimo rivedere CR7 in questa versione e quel manchester united leggendario :D
Rooney was just incredible!
The last year when the FA Cup semifinals were played on neutral grounds. Wembley should be the final prize only.
What classic to watch over and over again
Back when Utd won semi finals
And lost the final lol
Now they lose them lol
Ole have cursed history with semi finals😂😂

Esse United era mágico
I miss those Golden days, The best era of utd in our times
I miss those days
The intelligence of Rooney for the 3rd goal to let Smith have the ball and position himself to score the goal
28:15 Prior to goal, what a spirit Rooney showed to keep the ball and progressing into final third, now mufc cannot even bother...
Any one came after legend ronaldo came back to united from juventus 😍🔥🔥🇵🇹🇵🇹🐐🎉🎉❤️❤️
But he team is really bad rn Maguire is doing owngoals to de gea
@@yiliensloo yeah bro🥲
a backline of fletcher evra wes and heinze. and we still won. these players were so strong
Back when utd would always be in semi finals or finals. These days, very, very rare.
When Ronaldo scores, the commentator says, "Not bad for a winger." 😂. A time when few in the UK comprehended wide forwards.
3 up front has been used for a long time with players inter changing no difference than today just the terminology
@@andyhulme2274 wide forwards existed in prior eras, but not really in the premier league in this timeframe. Playmaking from the wing was their expected role.
RONALDO WAS A MIDFIELDER/WINGER
United Dont have anymore Superstars like Rooney and Ronaldo. instead they have Trashfraud and Co.
26:25 😍 pure master class
Utd players played with purpose and were so direct
1:06:00 i like the way wyane calls scholsey
Man Football has really changed. Look at the space players had on the ball back then
It’s fascinating to see how the game has evolved from this
The PES 6 commentator on. Brilliant!
Interesting to watch ronaldo now
Evra at RB is an interesting choice. Fergie could've easily used Brown at RB and used Heinze and Rio as the CB duo. But this man's gamble always pays off more often than not
Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs and Scholes all playing in attack - absolutely ridiculous
It's remarkable how quickly they got up after a foul...imagine today's players in that era 😂
Those AIG kits were The Best.
Manchester United Golden Generation
اخخخ 💔 كانها البارحة
The current M.U's strikers and wingers need to watch this kind of match to see how it should be done
The YT algorithm is truly incredible.
6:58 watch Carrick position his body to receive the ball then ask the player to put it where he wants it. Then the left foot pass thru. He did these things 20 times a game
An era can end
I miss this United
Nostalgia bgt jmn" nonton di tv7
1:22:35 wonder if you're looking for this as I was it was pretty hard to find 🙏
I miss the old glory days..
not even this young ronaldo pressed and they wanted 37 year old ronaldo to press hahah
38:40 Que domínio hein, agasalhou no peito e colocou a bola para dormir.
Manchester is Red
Alan Smith with all the killer pass
I know he's an unsung hero, but Alan Smith... The lad was sick at football. Just didn't have that killer instinct Wazza had.
15:23 THE GOAT
I watched this game only for LMF Ronaldo ♥️
Rooney is the man of the match
Vam der sar fue el mejor portero de la actualidad en el united
Ronaldo is my favorite soccer player. Hes the goooooooaaaaaaatttttttt.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😮😮

5:18 if you want to see what Carrick did his whole career. And 6:58 his positioning and asking for the ball in a dangerous area to set up the goal
Siuuuuuu
Glory glory glory man united
Gonna predict a 4-1 win for United here
Ballsy prediction
oh...
that boy ronaldo
Back when Man Utd where King's of the FA Cup
WHAT A PASS FROM ALAN SMITH
7:01 🤌🤌🤌
Has Michael Carrick ever stepped a foot wrong during his career? He is probably the most underrated player we ever had.
Match ends at 1:22:41
Nostalgic 💗

I can't believe it, C. Ronaldo playing on the midfield 🤣. Ah yes the old days
Its the wing right wing was just called right mid back then

@@nedmccann5381right mid and right wing are two different positions
@asekhokwatsha85 the commentators literally called him a winger in this game 🤣🤣
