United Rewind: Recent Episodes
Daniel Harris, Rob Smyth, Dap Dip
United obsessive Daniel Harris revisits classic - and not so classic - United matches and discusses the build-up, the fallout, the atmosphere and the action.
Daniel speaks to Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham about the 1995 FA Cup final, when Joe Royle, Paul Rideout and Neville Southall completed United's misery less than a week after they missed out on the Premier League league title.

Daniel and Rob look back on the famous FA Cup final of 1977, when Tommy Docherty’s intrepid United ended Liverpool’s hopes of doing the Treble. Stuart Pearson and Jimmy Greenhoff (with considerable help from Lou Macari) scored as United won their first major trophy in nine years on a day when Wembley was drenched in glory.

Daniel and Rob get in the mood for the FA Cup third round by recalling a pulsating Manchester derby in 2012. United put the holders City out of the competition with a wild 3-2 win. Paul Scholes came out of retirement, one of many unlikely plot twists before and during the game, while Wayne Rooney scored twice in a stirring, fraught and occasionally hilarious victory.

Daniel and Rob enjoy a Christmas cracker from 1995, when United overwhelmed the runaway leaders Newcastle in sub-zero temperatures at Old Trafford. Andy Cole scored a spectacular goal with his first touch against Newcastle since leaving them a year earlier, and Roy Keane capped an immense performance in two different positions by scoring the second.

Daniel and Rob revisit a counter-attacking clinic from April 1993, when United played football from the future and took their title rivals Norwich (yep) to the cleaners at Carrow Road. Ryan Giggs, Andrei Kanchelskis and Eric Cantona scored in an unbelievable eight-minute spell to put United 3-0 up at half-time. Their eventual 3-1 win ended a springtime blip and started a euphoric sprint to a first league title in 26 years.
