when did manchester united win the champions league last
Manchester United F.C. in European football The competition in which the club has had the most success is the European Cup (now known as the UEFA Champions League); they have won three European Cups, the first of which came in 1968; this win made them the first English club to win the European Cup. The other two victories came in 1999 and 2008. The club has also won the Cup Winners' Cup, which they won in 1991; the Super Cup, also won in 1991; the Intercontinental Cup, which they won in 1999; and the Europa League, which they won in 2017.
Arsenal F.C.–Manchester United F.C. rivalry In August 2011, Arsenal suffered their heaviest league defeat in 84 years as they lost 8–2 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. Arsenal had not lost a league game by such a margin since 1927 when they lost 7–0 to West Ham United in the old Football League First Division.[69] This was also the first time they had conceded eight goals in a game since 1896, when they lost 8–0 to the now defunct Loughborough in the old Football League Second Division.[70] A year later, striker Robin van Persie joined United, having stated that he would not renew his contract with Arsenal. It was speculated that he would move to a club overseas, but signed for the Manchester club, the first Arsenal player to do so since Viv Anderson in 1987.[71] Ferguson called Wenger to push through a deal when he learnt of the contract situation.[72] Van Persie was instrumental in United's league win of 2012–13 – Ferguson's last, and coincidentally received a guard of honour by his former teammates before United faced Arsenal at the Emirates in April 2013.[73]
Wayne Rooney During the first half of the 2006–07 season, Rooney endured a ten-game scoreless streak before scoring a hat-trick against Bolton Wanderers.[76] He subsequently signed a two-year contract extension the following month that tied him to United until 2012. In April 2007, he scored two goals in an 8–3 aggregate Champions League quarter-final win over Roma[77] and two more in the same competition later in the month, in a 3–2 semi-final first leg victory over Milan.[78] Rooney collected his first Premier League title winner's medal at the end of the 2006–07 season.[79] He scored 14 league goals that season.[80]
2013–14 Manchester City F.C. season Then, on 11 May 2014, they won the Premier League for the second time in three seasons with a 2–0 win over West Ham United.[9] It was the first time that Manchester City had won two major trophies in a season since the 1969–70 season, when they won the League Cup and the Cup Winners' Cup, and concluded one of the greatest seasons in the club's history.
