The Season in brief

United appeared to be on course for a second successive League and Cup double but ended the season without either. After three defeats in their opening nine games, United lost just one of their next twenty games. Needing to win at Upton park on the final day of the season to retain the title, they were held 1-1 and less than a week later Everton beat them 1-0 in the F.A. Cup Final. In March, United established a new record highest score in a Premier League game when they beat Ipswich 9-0 at Old Trafford with Andy Cole scoring five of the goals.

Eric Cantona missed the final three months of the season after his legendary kung-fu kick aimed at a racist thug at Crystal Palace. He was banned by the F.A. unbtil September 30th 1995.

Both the home and third kits were changed, and both included a prominent club badge similar to that on the change kit. Premier League patches were worn in all but European competition and in the League Cup. UEFA introduced a sleeve patch to be worn in Champions League matches, on the right sleeve.

Peter Schmeichel wore his 1992/93 third shirt in the pre-season against Shelbourne.

The new replica shirts for the 1994/95 season appeared to be victims of a profit maximising scheme at Umbro. All sponsors and manufacturers logos were simply printed into the fabric of the shirts and the badges were of the same kind that had been used on the previous season's replica black change shirts.
