Paul Scholes goal in extra time against Manchester City just another prove that Manutd are never beaten in football match. A whole chapter of the Manchester United story could be devoted to the team’s last-minute winners and, for the victims, it can be soul-destroying in the extreme.

Against City, Ferguson’s men have reserved their most callous acts this season for their neighbors. With winning goals at 90+6, 90+2, 90+3, can we still talk about luck when we do it 3 times in one single season against the same team?? Haha!!

The first thing to know is it is no fluke. Other teams can wilt when the heat of battle is so near to being intolerable. But this is what distinguishes Ferguson’s team: they do not get flustered and they do not resort to long balls, hoping for a ricochet, when they can trust the passing game that has kept Manutd at the top of English football for so long in the first place.

“IT’S A quality that’s part of our history,”
“That’s the nature of the club and it’s not something you can halt,”
- Alex Ferguson.

All 3 results against Manchester City this season will always be remembered together with the best of all injury goals miracle by United….against Bayern Munich in Champions League final 1999.
