Man United treble 1999: memories from Sir Alex Ferguson’s historic season
Wednesday May 26, 1999, a date etched into the memory of every Manchester United fan.
The Champions League final appeared to be slipping away from Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, only for Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to flip the game on its head in injury time.
