Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - 1999
It was a moment that will forever be etched in the memories of Manchester United fans worldwide. The year was 1999, and the Red Devils were at the end of an incredible season. They had already secured the Premier League title and the FA Cup, but there was one more trophy left to win: the Champions League.
The stage was set for an unforgettable final against Bayern Munich at Camp Nou Stadium in Barcelona. The German giants took the lead early on, and it looked as though United's dream of winning the treble was slipping away.
But then, in injury time, something miraculous happened. Teddy Sheringham scored an equalizer for United, sparking hope among the fans. And just moments later, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer scored what would become known as "the treble-winning goal." With seconds left on the clock, Solskjaer managed to get his foot to a corner kick from David Beckham and slot it into the back of the net.
The stadium erupted with joy as United celebrated their historic victory. It was a moment that cemented Solskjaer's place in Manchester United folklore and remains one of the greatest moments in football history.
Paul Scholes v Barcelona 2008
After a scoreless first leg at the Nou Camp in the Champions League semi-final, the second leg at Old Trafford between the two European giants was alway going to be a tense affair.
Fourteen minutes in, Paul Scholes stepped up and hit a screamer from 25 yards which was the only goal of the tie and put United into the Final where they beat Chelsea on penalties.
Scholes later said that he mis-kicked the shot but that it was the most important goal he scored for United.
Mark Hughes 1994 FA Cup Semi Final
United were playing Oldham Athletic in the 1994 FA cup semi-final.
After 90 minutes there were no goals and the match went to extra time. Neil Pointon got the opener for Oldham after 106 minutes and United were desperately throwing bodies into the box.
With only seconds left on the clock, Oldham failed to clear and United flicked the ball back into the penalty area for Hughes to meet at full stretch on the volley. The goal forced a replay which United won 4-1 and paved the way for a Premier League and FA cup double.
Eric Cantona 1996 FA Cup Final
United played arch rivals Liverpool in the 1996 FA cup final.
There was little to separate the the teams until the 85th minute when United talisman Eric Cantona connected with the ball beautifully on the volley in a moment of brilliance that would decide the game.
United finished the 96 season in style, winning the Premier league and FA cup double.
George Best Six Goal Match
The date is Feb 7th 1970. United play Northampton in the 5th round of the FA cup.
George Best returns from a 28 day suspension and scores six as United thrash Northampton 8-2. In the second half United ran riot; Best jinked, dodged and feinted, adding four more goals and an assist for Brian Kidd’s second goal, with a dazzling run that left Northampton’s defence in tatters.
Best was only the second player to net six in a game for United after Harold Halse in the 1911 charity shield, a feat which has never been achieved since.
Wayne Rooney Bicycle Kick - 2011
United earned a vital 2-1 derby victory on Saturday over rivals Man City, thanks to an astonishing goal in the 78th minute from Wayne Rooney.
"I think so," Rooney told Sky Sports when asked if it was the best goal of his career. "I saw it come into the box and thought, 'Why not?' Thankfully it finished up in the top corner.
Sir Alex Ferguson called Rooney's winner the best goal he had seen in his 25 years at Old Trafford.
"It was stunning," he said. "[Nani's tally] was an unbelievable goal, but nobody in their right sense will even talk about it. All the talk will be about that winning goal - unbelievable.
"I was trying to get in a good position for when Nani crossed it. Nine times out of ten they go over the crossbar. Today it ended up in the top corner. It is instinct. You don't have time to think about it."
Cantona v Man City - 1993/94
Eric Cantona scored seven goals in eight Premier League derby matches against Manchester City. Four of those goals came in the 93/94 season. In the Maine Rd derby in Nov 93, Cantona masterminded an epic come back after City had led 2-0, scoring twice in a 2-3 victory. In the return fixture in April 94, Cantona bagged another brace in a 2-0 home win. His sublime confidence bordered on arrogance because he could do things with the ball that other players couldn't imagine. To the Old Trafford faithful he will always be King Eric.

The sculptures are made from high density fiber board, which is strong and durable. However, they are still susceptible to damage if handled roughly, so it is important to handle them with care.
Installation is simple, with just one included nail needed to hammer into the wall and a centrally balanced point to rest the sculpture on. For wide pieces, a second nail may be required, in which case the first nail should be hammered in, one side of the piece hung, and the position for the second nail marked.
You may wish to drill a small pilot hole for the nail using the drill bit provided to avoid chipping your plaster.
The packaging uses the waste from the cutting process to protect the sculpture, and is then sandwiched between two wooden sheets and wrapped in cardboard. The packaging is not specifically designed to be environmentally friendly, but it can be easily recycled after use. However, we recommend to keep the packaging as it's the safest way to transport your sculpture should you ever need to move it.
