Too many to remember!
So glad I missed the 1-4.

Big ones that come to mind...

Sheasy last minute winner at Anfield.
Mata volley in the 2-1 at Anfield (was this also the game where Gerrard was sent off after 2 minutes in his last appearance in the fixture?)

96 cup final was such a dull game but the CantonaaaAAAA!!! winner was such a fantastic strike.

Another one I remember fondly was I think a 1-0 win at Anfield where Hargreaves and Anderson were incredible in the middle for us.

Berba hat-trick in the 3-2 at OT also a great game. Unbelievable overhead kick too
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That guy was such a mad player. Looked like he was stoned most of the time then produced outrageous control or that overhead. What a talent. Reminded me of Le Tissier. Gifted but didn’t give a fark

The FA Cup game in 1999 is also a great memory. Didn't think we'd score but scored twice at the death.

Funnily enough I remember the game where Molby scored that cracker. Listened to it on the radio in my United scarf but soon skulked off to bed thanks to Jan Molby!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah Owen scored a header early then you got 2 late, I think Cole and ole.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That's the one. A few months later Ince got an equaliser for LFC in a 2-2 draw.

There have been some cracking matches to be fair but there have also been some really boring ones as well!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was at that game and wasn’t a fan of Ince at all. Tried too hard to be a big hard man but boy I celebrated that goal!!

I was at Anfield when Molby scored that goal, in one of your stands (the Kops on your right). Great goal, wasn't a good game though.

Weirdly, I was in the Gladyws street seats for the 85 semi final as well (imagine trying to blend in when Paul Walsh scored your equaliser). I was lucky enough to get tickets for the Maine Road replay as well - both those games were magnificent.

I enjoyed watching the fledglings stuff you 3-1 after Barnes scored the opener.

There aren't that many that stick in your mind for the football though, are there?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Was in the Kop that night.
Cracking atmosphere.

Robbo... Probably my favourite goal
++++

best United goal I think have seen.

My worst memory was back in 1992 when we lost 2-0 on bank holiday Monday to Liverpool and it cost us the title against Leeds. Gutting

3-3 is a great shout.

2010 fa cupl beckford winner. that was sweet.

3-3 was epic. Loved the 2-1 cup win in 99 when Solskjaer scored. Our 0-1 win under Van Gaal was one of the worst games of PL football I’ve ever seen.

I was also at OT many years ago when Russell Beardsmore clinched a 3-1 win. Classic.

Oh T Bone that cup final must have been a heart breaker!

Mines the 2_0 at Anfield under Rafa when Ngog sired the late goal and pepe ran the pitch and was first to celebrate with Ngog. Was in the top corner of the kop and watched pepe run the length of the pitch, great day.

oh man, where to begin..
Lets go with the 3-3. We should've had yer..
3-0 up wasn't we. And the famous Irwin free-kick, where nobody in the box, nobody was ahead of the ball.
And sweet sweet Denis.
Only for Clough to ruin it by sparking a comeback!

What a player Irwin was.

Did Ole come off the bench to win that game?

The 2-1 Utd cup win was a good one. Or maybe just a good last 5 minutes?

posted on 16/1/20

One of the earliest games I can remember where we actually had a decent results was the 2-2 at Anfield in 99.

Needless to say, United were at the peak of their powers that year, we went 2-0 down and you thought the writing was on the wall - still came back to draw 2-2 and Paul Ince of all people with an 89th minute goal!

The 96 final was the earliest game I can remember watching as a Liverpool fan which obviously sticks out as a bad one.

The 4-1 at OT being the best ever IMO. Just came out of nowhere, after the whole Rafa 'facts' feud, it was the icing on the cake.

A couple of more recent ones to recall...

The 3-1 against Utd when Kuyt got his hattrick and we saw the genius of Suarez for probably the first time.

Also beating them 3-0 at OT when they just kept on giving us penalties, and Vidic got sent off again!

Slightly off topic but I reckon Danny Murphy has the most winners against Utd.
I'm sure he scored three goals in three different 1-0 wins early on in the 2000's?

Day was a disaster from the start. Found a pub by the ground early only to find out after an hour it was the Utd pub. 10000 mancs singing at me and my pee’d up mate. We gave good banter to them all and they were a good laugh back. No animosity at all just banter.

My sneaked in 6 cans of Stella each after 7 pints and then realised we were in the posh section. My mate fell over two rows after 10 mins. We had security stood around us for the rest of the game until they scored and then we were launched out. Took a kicking from the security on the way. Cost me a fortune that day

Defo. Reminds me of Robbo. Gets stuck in and gives his all. Left foot and right foot he was a quality player

Suarez was unreal that day. Made me realise what a player we had at the time. Ripped them to pieces that day

Berba hatrick one for me was a great game. And the 3-3 mentioned by the op. As I remember it Clough's goals were both quite similar. I remember saying to my mate its going to be 9-0 at this rate after we scored the 3rd.

This is why form goes out the window in these games. Utd were romping the league every season yet Danny fecking Murphy was having worldies and winning is the game on a few occasions.

Tbf I always enjoyed watching Berbatov play. That was a crazy game which we should never have been allowed back into, but that winner from Berba was just unreal.

Exactly. We always raised our game and they will on Sunday. Probably see Fred get a couple ffs.

I think beating Liverpool in the '96 Cup Final is up there, beating them at Wembley to secure the double and complete Eric's rehabilitation was pretty sweet.

In more recent years, O'Shea's injury-time winner infront of The Kop will take some beating, I watched it in the Brookhouse Pub in Liverpool with a girl from Middleton, we went mental in a mostly silent room...

Juan Mata's double in the 2-1 win at Anfield in 2015 was satisfying too, the first was one of the best United team goals I've ever seen and the second was almost Mark Hughes-esque. Plus, all the nonsense about how Liverpool needed Gerrard's experience, he comes on, stamps on Hererra, and gets sent off inside 60 seconds.

He did.

Also Berba's overhead kick was to make it 2-0. The winner (3-2 goal) was a header.
