Having been around the Blades for several decades, and after much consideration, was this the 'best' United win ever?
I'm basing this on the gap between us and our opponents. In other words, the 'unlikeliness quotient'*
This gap obviously reflects the gulf in skill levels, resources etc.
The Forest game in 2003 will be unsurpassed in sheer excitement. Leicester away in 1990 was unbelievable but we were very close in the League. Norwich away in 1989 (?) was close in the UL*, but we lost. Everton in the FAC in 1969 was commendable. Everton were, I think, Champions but with players like Woodward, we were no pushovers.
In 1971, in our 10-game unbeaten start, we won at Arsenal. Again, massively impressive but against a team in the same division. Ditto our 5-1 home win v. Cardiff in the 70-71 promotion campaign and our many victories over Wendy in the early 90s.
