City freekick
That Volley from the Rooney pass
Southampton hattrick(not really a moment)
Scoring the pen to end the goal drought and running all the way to hug Sir Alex
That superb touch with left foot and finish with right vs Wigan
My memory is shit so I'm sure I'd have missed some obvious ones.

1) Goal vs City
2) "Our fellow players are sometimes occupying the spaces I want to play in. And when I see that it makes it difficult for me to come to those spaces as well. So that forces me to adjust my runs, based on the position of my fellow players. And unfortunately, they're often playing in my zones. I think that's a shame."

Winner against mancity for me. That was a huge win for us and basically set the tone for us to dominate the league that year.
Only regret that season was the shite referee sending off nani in the 2nd leg against madrid. Honestly had no doubt in my mind we would have reached the finals at the very least.

That and choking a 2-0 lead to Chelsea at home in the FA Cup, that was annoying.
Speaking of the FA Cup, RVPs last minute equaliser against West Ham was pretty great.
1. Southampton hatrick
2. City
3. Olympiakos hatrick
4. Goal vs Villa
5. Celebrating vs Arse

Equaliser vs West Ham in the FA Cup is definitely up there.
Yeah, this is my absolute favourite RvP moment.

I was so pissed off we had squandered a two goal lead and also had a legitimate goal chalked off incorrectly. That game should have been an absolute hammering on their patch. If we'd have got 3-0 with Young's goal, I think we'd have got at least one more. As soon as the third goal was disallowed, they came at us and got two back. It would have been so unjust. It was a pretty poor free kick in general, but Nasri pussied out and gave it enough of a nick to take it past Joe Hart. Just incredible.
1. Winner against City
2. Southampton headed winner
3. Villa goal
4. First Arsenal goal
5. His first for us against Fulham

That was a weird season though, we blew 2-0 wins away to City and Chelsea but spawned late wins with the deflected free kick and Chich's offside goal. I guess doing it a third time in the cup against Chelsea was a step too far.
1) The night we signed him. That was special.
2) That whole first season
Watching him play like that, week in week out, was a joy. Best player we've had since Ronaldo left.

There was also that League Cup game away to Chelsea where we conceded a last minute penalty, which ended up with us losing in extra time. We had a bunch of kids in defence and were moments away from a win at Stamford Bridge just days after beating them there in the league
It was one of my favourite United seasons ever, as a born Dutch and my brother being an Arsenal fan, every game was spectacular for me. Every game seeing the magic he produces, along with RVN my favourite United #9's. His debut goal, hattricks vs olympiacos/soton, volley vs villa, winner vs city were pure magic for me. I think he's a very unique player, and all the best to him.
1. 3-2 City - yelled like a mad man and woke up the wife and got into a fight because she had work early the next day (matches here in NZ are early morning)
2. Volley against Villa

Guard of honour deserves a mention.
His first goal, when he did that you just knew he was going to be a special player for us.
The City goal, obviously.
The winner for me though is the Villa goal. You only see a few like that in your lifetime:

His late penalty against Liverpool after they had battered us was brilliant.
