The Season in brief
United's unique treble winning season began badly. Beaten in the Charity Shield by Arsenal 3-0 and then at Highbury by a similar score, United were tenth in the Premiership towards the end of September.
By the spring the summer investment of nearly £30m to bring in Jesper Blomqvist, Jaap Stam and Dwight Yorke was beginning to pay dividends. United topped the Premier League and had reached the semi-finals of both the F.A. Cup and Champions League. Ryan Giggs, whose last minute goal had earned a 1-1 draw in the semi final first leg against Juventus, scored a magnificent goal in the FA Cup replay against Arsenal to take United to Wembley. A week later one of United's greatest performances ever saw them win 3-2 in Turin after being 2-0 down in just 11 minutes.
On May 16th United came from behind again to beat Tottenham 2-1 at Old Trafford to claim the title. A week later they had a comfortable 2-0 win against Newcastle in the FA Cup Final. Only Bayern Munich stood between them and a historic treble. On Wednesday May 26th United became Champions of Europe with two injury time goals. A stunning climax to the season.
United had new home and third kits. They also wore a new design white sock with the change kit for most of the season.
United had two European Home goalkeeper kits; the first was worn in the club's Champions' League games in 1998, whilst the second was worn in 1999.
