Without thinking too hard, which goal comes to mind?
Best goal scored by an opposition at old trafford?
- Thread starter The Azzurri
- Start date
Robben springs to mind
Rossi (Man Utd - Roma). Perfect volley.
Batistuta.
Dean Ashton for West Ham in a 4-1 loss was a cracker.
Kaka at oldtrafford, or Brazilian Ronaldo at oldtrafford.
Modric
Brazilian Ronaldo. The goal from nothing 30 or 40 yards out. I just remember thinking how helpless we looked.
Redondo-Raul?
Robben.
Can't think beyond Ronaldo's hat trick. Not a single goal I know but pretty good all the same.
Aguero vs United 2013 also a good goal.
Yes great shout.
Perfectly taken strike, overshadowed not only by the fact we beat them 7-1 but also because we scored some terrific goals that night ourselves. Carrick scored a belter, Alan Smith too.
Super goal by Rossi but somewhat forgotten given everything else.
EDIT: Just realised the criteria was to be scored at Old Trafford. Never mind.

Also Benteke's overhead kick.
Exactly. The fact that it was great and overshadowed makes it perfect.
Definitely Benteke's overhead belongs in the top 5
Darren Ambrose for Crystal Palace (when they had Zaha before he signed for us) in the cup, 11/12 season I think. We lost 2-1. One of the best goals i've ever seen against us.
Ronaldo for his hattrick obviously, Benteke in the 3-1 on Martial's debut, Aguero a couple of years ago.

That's De Rossi. For a sec I was wondering when Giuseppe Rossi scored a great goal against us
Every season at least once or twice a random midtable player seems to score the goal of their career against us.
I'm sure there was a bigger thread on this with loads of good shouts in it.
That Spurs goal, was it a defender that was the sold? He rifled one in recently
Wasn't that Rio/Wes looking totally out of their depth in those legs? Ronaldo and company toyed with the United back four those nights.
My favorite.
Then I'd say Ronaldo, and then Agüero. Great goals both.
Paulo wanchope
wanchope dribbling like 5 players.
Kaka when he heads it past two of our players and they run in to each other for AC Milan

I wouldn't say that. We won 4-3. We were all over them except for Ronaldo and to a lesser extent Figo.
Nélson's belter when we played Benfica and beat them 3-1 in 2006.
Robben's came to mind 1st.
Only because it hurt so much

Scored by an opposition player - not the best but Ronnie Whelan's own goal when he lobbed Grobelaar from 30 yards in 1990 was a gem!
Trezeguet scored a bit of a belter against us for Monaco in '98 I think it was.
Payet's free kick against us was nice, too.
Yeah that was a cracker.
Nakamura's freekick stands out for me
I think you're generously remembering that game. It was a decent goal, but he was nowhere near 40 yards out (that's closer to the h/w line than the goal - think Ronaldo vs Porto) and the only time we were anything like "all over them" was near the end, when they'd already taken Figo & Ronaldo off because they knew they were comfortable.
I've always found it strange how people romanticise that match. We were always chasing it, and it was only an exhibition after we'd already lost. We were something like 6-3 down on aggregate (+away goals) when Beckham came on. It wasn't a much of a high point. The media did us a favour by playing up the spectacle of what was essentially a comfortable win for Real.

Jimmy Floyd. Difficult to find on you tube. First goal of this clip.
Batistuta sticks out in my mind. Was an abosolute rocket. I remember everyone in the stand saying 'what the feck was Bosnich doing?'. Saw it back on tv and not only was it a rocket but it moved in a unholy way
Borini's goal against us this season would be right up there.
Phwoar...
