Manchester United Greatest Ever comebacks

Continuing with my last blog, Manchester United are remembered for their 'Never Say Die' attitude. There are thousands of videos on YouTube of Manchester United's comebacks over the years, here I have decided to share what in my opinion, are the best ever comebacks in MUFC's history.

5. Manchester United vs. Tottenham 2009 (at Old Trafford)
In the first half, United were down 2.0 after goals from Darren Bent and Luka Modric. What happened next, just watch it !!!

4. Tottenham vs. Manchester United  2001 (at White Hart Lane)
It was way before the last one and that too on Spurs' home. United were down 3.0 at the half time but they never gave up on their 'Never Say Die' attitude.


3. Manchester United vs. Arsenal 1999 (Fa Cup Semifinal replay)
After the first tie was drawn 0.0 after 120 minutes of play, United came into the second leg with an aim for victory and to continue towards their quest for the treble, but it wasn't as easy as it was thought.
2. Manchester United vs. Juventus 1999 Champions League Semi Final, 2nd leg
After a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford United traveled to Turin needing a win to see their way into the final. As always, it was not easy for United. They were down 2.0 after just 11 minutes in the game. Captain Roy Keane, who had received his Yellow card that had banned him from competing in the next match, gave his one of the best performance in the Red shirt.

1. Manchester United vs. Bayern Munich 1999 Champions League Final at Nou Camp

They say, 'Leave the best till the last'. Having won the League and FA Cup in 1999, there was only one match between united and the Treble but as said earlier, they never do it the easy way. I'll not describe what happened, the commentary tells everything about it



To wrap it up, here's a famous quote from Sir Alex Ferguson after the 1999 final. "Football, bloody hell !!!"
