TOP 10 greatest COMEBACKS from the COMEBACK KING!!!

Man Utd SUPER SUB..
MANCHESTER UNITED 3 BARCELONA 0 (3-2 ON AGGREGATE), 1984 EUROPEAN CUP WINNERS' CUP QUARTER-FINAL
Fergie's not the only manager to have inspired memorable Man United comebacks. In the first leg of this European tie, Ron Atkinson's Red Devils lost 2-0 at the Nou Camp and few gave them any chance against a Barcelona team containing Diego Maradona. A diving header from Bryan Robson on 22 minutes brought a packed Old Trafford to life in the second leg and Captain Marvel did the business again to level things after 50 minutes. Frank Stapleton popped up with the winner two minutes later to complete a remarkable comeback. 
MANCHESTER UNITED 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1, 1992/93 PREMIER LEAGUE
The comeback that launched an era of Fergie title domination and questionable time keeping at Old Trafford. A year earlier, Man United had blown the title with three defeats over Easter and they were in danger of throwing it away again in 1993. Neck and neck with Aston Villa in the league, United trailed Sheffield Wednesday after 86 minutes when Steve Bruce popped up to equalise. Desperately needing a win, Bruce produced a winner as seven minutes of injury time were played and a vital three points helped Fergie clinch United's first title in 26 years.

MANCHESTER CITY 2 MANCHESTER UNITED 3, 1993/94 PREMIER LEAGUE
Niall Quinn put Man City two up by half-time of this derby at Maine Road in November 1993, before a goal from Eric Cantona gave the visitors hope after 52 minutes. As the minutes ticked away, it looked as though it would be nothing more than a consolation, until Cantona grabbed the equaliser 13 minutes from time. Summer signing Roy Keane clinched a dramatic winner after 86 minutes to shatter City and United were on their way to a double-winning season.

MANCHESTER UNITED 2 LIVERPOOL 1, 1999 FA CUP FOURTH ROUND
Five months before the injury time comeback against Bayern clinched the treble, Manchester United laid the foundations for a remarkable season with a dramatic late victory over their arch rivals. Michael Owen gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes of this FA Cup fourth round tie at Old Trafford and, with just two minutes remaining, the Reds were on the brink of knocking out United. Dwight Yorke grabbed the equaliser on 88 minutes, before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer stunned Liverpool with a last gasp winner. Bayern Munich really should have watched this game before the Champions League final.
JUVENTUS 2 MANCHESTER UNITED 3, 1999 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL
This Champions League semi-final win was arguably a greater comeback than the final itself. Juventus had appeared in the previous three finals and comprehensively outplayed Man United in the first leg, as Fergie's team scrambled a last minute equaliser to grab a draw. With 11 minutes gone in Turin, Juventus were 2-0 up and cruising, but United kept going and a goal from Roy Keane after 24 minutes turned the tie on its head. By half-time United were level and after 84 minutes Andy Cole grabbed a deserved winner. Against all the odds, Manchester United were through to the final…

BAYERN MUNICH 1 MANCHESTER UNITED 2, 1999 CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL
Do we really need to tell you what happened in this final? Ok, Bayern were 1-0 up after six minutes and only the crossbar saved United from going 2-0 down in a match largely dominated by the German side. Two goals from injury time set pieces sealed the most incredible finale to a cup final in football history. Football, bloody hell!

TOTTENHAM 3 MANCHESTER UNITED 5, 2001/02 PREMIER LEAGUE
Spurs totally outplayed defending champions Man United in the first half, going in at the break 3-0 to the good. In the second half, however, Fergie's United were simply sensational, scoring within a minute of the restart courtesy of Andy Cole. By the 76th minute Juan Sebastian Veron had made it 4-3, with David Beckham completing a stunning comeback three minutes from time.
EVERTON 2 MANCHESTER UNITED 4, 2006/07 PREMIER LEAGUE
Without a title in four years – and that is a disastrous drought for Fergie – Man United were battling defending champions Chelsea for the Premier League. With three games to play and three points clear of the Blues, United travelled to Goodison Park and found themselves trailing 2-0 after 50 minutes. An own goal from Old Trafford old boy Phil Neville put them level with 20 minutes to go and a Chris Eagles goal on 90 minutes sealed a 4-2 win. With Chelsea only managing a point on the same day, the title was well and truly on its way back to Old Trafford.

MANCHESTER UNITED 5 TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR 2, 2008/09 PREMIER LEAGUE
Another five goal comeback against Spurs, this time at home and 'only' trailing 2-0 at half-time, but a win that sent Manchester United top and shattered title-chasing hopefuls Liverpool. A dodgy penalty got United back in the game after 57 minutes, three goals in four minutes from Rooney and Ronaldo put them 4-2 up after 71 minutes, before Dimitar Berbatov capped a crucial win that gave Fergie's side an unstoppable title-winning momentum.

WEST HAM 2 MANCHESTER UNITED 4, 2010/11 PREMIER LEAGUE
Incredible as it may seem now, after 64 minutes of this match Man United were seemingly going to be just one point clear of second-placed Arsenal as the season entered April, with the Gunners playing their game in hand at home against struggling Blackburn later the same day. Fergie's team were 2-0 down to the relegation-threatened Hammers and were lucky not to be reduced to ten-men, when Nemanja Vidic brought down Demba Ba as he beared down on goal just before half-time. Javier Hernandez came off the bench at the break, but it was Wayne Rooney who scored a 14-minute hat-trick to turn the game and the title race around, controversially swearing into a TV camera in celebration. Hernandez put the seal on an incredible win with six minutes remaining and this vital three points deflated the chasing pack, none of which could catch United.
