The Season in brief
United's opening day defeat at Villa Park prompted Alan Hansen's infamous "you'll never win anything with kids" on Match of the Day. Nine months later United had won a second League and Cup double.
Eric Cantona returned for Liverpool's visit to Old Trafford on October 1st, and marked his return with a goal. He finished the season as the club's top scrorer with nineteemn goals.
By mid January, United were second and trailed Newcastle by twelve points but a 1-0 win at St James' Park on March 4th proved a turning point. Kevin Keegan, the Newcastle manager, appeared to self-destruct live on Sky Sports and United went on to claim the title with a thrilling 3-0 win at Middlesbrough on the final day of the season.
Cantona provided the only touch of class, scoring a lte winner in a poor Cup Final against a talent-less Liverpool side intent on avoiding defeat.
A new grey change kit was launched - and dropped after claims the players couldn't pick each other out when wearing it. United wore the kit (with white shorts) for the game at the Dell in April - at least for the first half in which Southampton raced into a 3-0 lead. fter the break, United wore their third kit, with out of date 1993/94 Premier League Champions sleeve patches. This kit was also worn in the crucial final game of the season.
The new replica change shirts again had printed logos and non-embroidered crests and retailed for £35.
