United Moments: Remember a 6-1 victory over Arsenal?

A memorable afternoon at Old Trafford in 2001 as Man United put 6 past Arsenal. 

It was also an incredible match for Dwight Yorke.

   

Watch the key moments again. Footage from Manchester United - YouTube 

Manchester United produced a football masterclass to humiliate nearest rivals Arsenal and establish a 16-point lead at the top of the Premiership. Dwight Yorke scored a hat-trick inside 21 magical minutes as a packed Old Trafford was treated to every trick in the book by a United team at the very peak of its powers. 

Arsenal were annihilated as Keane and Solskjaer got in on the act with further goals in their best performance of the season. Sheringham then made it six of the best for United with the final goal in injury time. 

What happened after?

Man United finished the season as champions, Arsenal finished in 2nd place 10 points behind United. The Gunners did gain some revenge the following season, and won the league at Old Trafford following a 1-0 win. 

Did you remember the match?

One United fan offered a critical take on the Arsenal side of that era: "While Wenger's attacking & creative football was beyond legendary and an absolute joy to watch, he never really had a clue defensively compared to previous Arsenal managers. He never really learned how to win ugly.  This is probably why he never won a Champions League. They were always trying to go toe to toe with teams like Barca or Bayern."

A neutral fan provided an interesting statistic: "Dwight Yorke played for United for a short period but he is still regarded as a United legend. He won a treble as soon as he arrived at Old Trafford and scored a whole lot of goals. He was the top scorer for a non-European in the Premier League. This was a record taken by Aguero in 2017."

United Review: Reaction and highlights as United reach Wembley

Are we about to win our first major trophy since 2017? Manchester United reached the final of the EFL Cup as they comfortably beat Forest 5-0 on aggregate. Watch the highlights of the match in the video below. One fan commented: " If we should ever get owners that would fully back this manager, we'd be winning the League and Champions League in quick time. He himself is the transformation he wants to see in his players, because he is a champion. So any time the team gets fully conformed to his mentality, they will also become champions."

United Review: Reds cruise against Sheriff

Manchester United 3-0 Sheriff Tiraspol The reds recorded a comfortable in the Europa League. In a match dominated by the Reds, headed goals from Diogo Dalot and Marcus Rashford in each half were added to by a late Cristiano Ronaldo strike to settle the victory. The result, our fourth win of the group stage, means there will be a showdown at Real Sociedad next week to decide who takes the top spot and avoids having to play off against a third-placed side from the Champions League. United must win by two goals to topple the San Sebastian outfit on the head-to-head, after their 1-0 victory at Old Trafford. Virtually from the moment that United kicked off, the visitors sat into a robust defensive shape with all 11 players behind the ball, inviting the Reds to come at them. With a firm grip on the play, Erik ten Hag’s side enjoyed a steady stream of chances. Check out some of the atmosphere from the match.
