The Season in brief
Spurred on by Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney, who both scored twenty three goals, a repeat of United's historic treble of 1999 remained a real possibility at the beginning of May.
United scored four without reply in the first twenty minutes of the opening game against Fulham, and by the end of September were top of the League. They stayed there for the remainder of the season finishing six points ahead of runners-up Chelsea.
Middlesbrough provided United with the toughest opposition on the way to yet another F.A. Cup Final - the first at the new Wembley Stadium. Didier Drogba's goal four minutes from the end of extra time was enough to win the Cup for Chelsea. In the Champions' League, United were beaten in the semi-finals by AC Milan, after earlier demolitioning AS Roma 7-1 at Old Trafford in the quarter finals.
United negotiated a record breaking sponsorship deal with AIG in the wake of Vodafone's decision to end their sponsorship. Nike produced new classically designed home and change kits with prominent club crests.
A MUFC motif was included at the bottom of the front of the home shirt but this infringed UEFA regulations and had to taped over in Champions' League games. See the article on European variant kits.
The previous season's change kit became the third kit for 2006/07 with AIG replacing Vodafone as shirt sponsor.
