check out the 2nd goal here, just the 5 first time passes from the edge of Utd's own 6 yard box

edit: I lie, Pally, is it, takes 2 touches at the start of the move

Rafael was a bit of a mixed bag but he showed ten times more in his debut season than Dalot has. Not knocking Dalot who could become a good player for us but I saw some fans saying he could be our first choice right back next season which would be very worrying :houllier:. Rafa from the first instance had excellent attacking instincts and a great engine.

I remember;
When Albert Quixall's transfer to United was a record fee of £48,000;
Billy Foulkes getting battered in the back every time Harry Gregg came out to collect a corner kick;
Harry Gregg running down the wing (with his arm in a sling) and backheeling for Bobby Charlton to score against Tottenham;
'Chopper Harris' having three goes (and failing) at bring down Bestie as he closed in on the Chelsea goal;
When Big Jim Holton stood on the ball during the warm up and did his knee;
Joe Jordan's toothless grin when he scored;
Watching on TV as Roy Keane score the winner against Juventus whilst stuck in a roadside café outside Maastricht;
Eric's kung-foo kick;
(Some) People calling Cristiano a 'one trick pony' in his early days at OT;
Michael Owen's last minute winner in the 4-3 victory over City;
Rooney's overhead kick goal against City;
Rashford's pen for the win against PSG;

and many, many, more, and wondering what does the future hold under Ole... and are we stuck in a time-warp?
Keane didn’t score the winner v Juve, he pulled one back to make it 2-1.

Sry to nitpick, I had to.

Hah Hah...that's ok, that's the trouble with nostalgia!

We were stuck outside Maastricht watching on Dutch TV and slowly getting pi**ed in a bar, feeling sorry for ourselves because we missed the match and then we were losing, until Roy popped up, remember it was a header from a corner, right? Thought it was the winner, but you're right it was the goal that got us going again, happy days!

Felt like a fecking winner, so I can get why some people tag it wrong in their head :)
