The win, against a Bayern side who led for 85 minutes of the game, saw United obtain what no English club had achieved - the treble of Premiership, FA Cup and European Cup.

But when Ryan Giggs turned a David Beckham corner back into the box, Sheringham steered it home to secure an unlikely equaliser.

From the kick-off, United again stole possession forcing another corner, with Solskjaer striking Sheringham's header first-time into the roof of the net.

It gave United the most thrilling of victories - and came on the day the Reds' other European Cup winning manager, the late Sir Matt Busby, would have celebrated his 90th birthday.
