Jan 7th, 1990.
Man Utd lose in the FA Cup 3rd round away at Forest (rather than winning 1-0 and eventually winning the Cup).
Does Fergie get sacked as what was widely believed to be the case if they lost?
One result change could change the entire european club football scene for 25 years...
That's a very good answer.
I've been trying to think of a City related answer from my lifetime but I'm struggling for a standout tbh….Wigan in the FA cup final was grim, but doesn't feel enough to plump for. Possibly Hamburg in the UEFA cup from about 10 years ago, but that was 'only' the quarter final stage. Real Madrid in the semi of the CL the other season? Dunno, none seem to really jump out.
I'm sure we can guess what united fans majority answer would be.....starts with an A and ends in oooooooooooooooooo
