The first season of the Premier League.

With no league title in 26 years, the pressure was building on Sir Alex Ferguson’s time at Manchester United.

With seven games to play, they were in danger of squandering their advantage and momentum.

Step forward the Ferguson blueprint: heroes across the pitch; a never say die attitude; a last-gasp snatching of victory. United found their winning formula – their ‘mental attitude’, as Ferguson put it. And they never looked back.

The rest, as they say, is written in history. A staggering 13 league titles established them as a modern day behemoth.

This is where it all began.
