I'm still a little upset by Zlatans miss at the weekend, it would have been a truly phenomenal goal, the play before hand, the little dink ball by Pogba, the run, the chest control by Zlatan. He hit it as clean as you could like but it went over. Would have been such a thing of beauty.
Anyway it got me thinking about almost goals that would have been amazing.
Pele's when he let it run across the keeper is probably the most famous.
Ronaldo's for Portugal against Spain would have been amazing but for Nani trying to get a tap in on the line when it was guaranteed going in and he was offside (watch it for a laugh if you've never seen it)
Another for us was when we took a clever corner between Giggs and Rooney (I think) and we scored from it but it was disallowed incorrectly.
But for me its this effort from Zizou

Absolute travesty he didn't put that in, can you think of any others.
Greatest almost goal of all time

Nani wasn't offside though.

Rooney against Liverpool in 11/12 season that was disallowed at OT I think for quick fire hat-trick that went in top corner due to whistle.
I remember when we beat Chelsea in 08-09 season 3-0 we scored a goal a clever corner but it was disallowed but we scored from next corner

I remember we had a goal disallowed for offside in 0-0 early kick off game on sky against Arsenal to clinch title. Stats showed we had 0 shots on target but we scored a legitimate goal and would have won. I think we nearly walked it in.

Rashford against Iceland when he nearly did a Giggs against Arsenal in fa cup in 1999

The one that springs to mind is Markovic vs Sunderland.

Would've been an unreal goal.

That's absurd. So incredibly difficult to do when the ball is coming from behind you.

That Lucas Moura one is incredible, all that hard work and just lacks a little power to finish it off

Moura's is no good
all he does is run directly forwards, just terrible defending
