Aside from completing our set of European Trophies it came literally 2 days after the terrorist attack in Manchester. It was the perfect moment to win a trophy and put a smile on some faces.
What’s your single footballing high point since Fergie retired?

Such negativity here, Ole has given several great moments.
Winning 8 games in a row. Beating PSG and City twice, beating Southampton 9-0, scoring 5 and 6 past Leeds. Rashford scoring a hat-trick off the bench to beat Leipzig 5-0 in the past few years alone. You have to be a right miserable bastard to not enjoy these moments at all.

Moyes getting sacked
Yeah they won’t give him any credit but there have been some great games, by far our most entertaining games since SAF retired, no doubt about that.
I enjoyed both domestic cup final wins, maybe give the edge to FA Cup Final as it looked like we had lost it.
The Europa League final was weird. Maybe it was because it was a few days after the tragic events in Manchester but it felt flat when we won even though it completed the set of winning all major trophies.
1. FA Cup 2016
2. League Cup 2017
3. Europa League 2017

I don't really have one, it's probably clouded by far higher points for France.
Italy beating England on penalties to win the Euro's.
Ole coming in and winning multiple games in a row. It felt like I was watching the real United again.
Huh? Who's being negative? People are just recalling their personal favourite moments since SAF retired and you've turned it into another Ole thread now. None of those moments amounted to us winning anything either, are United fans not allowed to enjoy winning trophies anymore?
Winning the Europa League with Mr. Anti-football. At least we got a bit of international cred that year. Close second was that Ole winning streak.
Europa League win. I actually really wanted to win it to finish off our trophy collection 
.
.1. Juanfield
2. The night in Paris was such a good game, everyone were happy that day.
3. As a Norwegian fan, the debut vs. Cardiff was a hugely covered event in Norway, so as a local fan that was a big deal.
4. Winning the Europa League
5. Signing Ibra

Winning the EL and FA Cup. Because ultimately, winning things is the point of football and we hadn't won much for a while, or since.
Apart from that, the PSG away win and that glorious mini-run where we smashed citeh 4-2 and dominated Liverpool at Anfield before promptly losing at home to West Brom. The 5-0 away win at Bayer Leverkusen under Moyes and the 60 seconds of delirious joy following Evra's thunderbolt away to Bayern. The 4-0 win over QPR after signing Falcao, Di Maria, Blind etc and then racing into a 2-0 lead away to Leicester in the next game. Felt like something really good was happening. Didn't last long. Our multiple away wins at citeh (let's not mention the home games). The 2-1 away win at Juventus, I'd pretty much forgotten how it felt to win a game against a genuine European power, even if it was a bit jammy
Scoring four, five, six goals in a game under Ole. How many years was it between us scoring five against Leverkusen and the next time we did it? Under LVG I went four whole months without United scoring a goal at my end of the ground. FOUR FECKING MONTHS. I thought Moyes was bad, then LVG came along and was more competent but watching us play was like witnessing the death of anything enjoyable about football. Then Mourinho came along and was arguably worse, as well as massively more toxic.
The 2-1 win away at PSG last season. Felt so good just to be back in the CL, and then we went and did that in the first game.
Recently, I've taken to celebrating small victories. The comebacks against Villareal and Atlanta had me leaping around like a crazed gibbon You come to appreciate the small things more when you're no longer winning the big things.

Ronaldo coming back.
The FA Cup win, the EL win. That night in Paris. Juanfield. Its not exactly the greatest selection ever.
Non United has to be slippy Gerrard and them throwing that two goal lead away at Palace.

Personal sports hero, I've met and chatted a bit with him many years ago
The 30 seconds between Evra's wonder goal against Bayern and them scoring.
2-0 against City in the final game before lockdown.
Denmark reaching the semi-finals this summer surpasses anything United has delivered in that period.
FA Cup win.
Trophies aside, these were good fun:
The Slip
Juanfield
Rashford wrecking Demichelis
Pardew doing this to us in the cup final, and then losing

Ronaldo coming back. He is probably the player that I most admire in the history of the sport and I have some amazing memories of his first stint here.
It’s amazing seeing him back again and scoring goals like the one at th weekend. He is an absolute legend in my book.

FA cup.
Got a free ticket from a Palace fan, meant I was stuck in the Palace end until the stewards saw my shirt an sneaked me into the UTD end.
Then got outside an found out Van Gaal had gone.

Don’t know why but Martials goal in the FA Cup semi final came to mind.
The Europa League. I did feel we would go from strength to strength at that point. The FA Cup (and Martial’s winner in the semis) were also quite satisfying at the time. Especially with all the youngsters who had just broken though that season. Being at them all helps as well tbf.
Paris was fun in the moment but I’ve also always felt a bit weird about it. Ultimately it was a somewhat flukey R16 win against a side who’d never won the trophy and we went out in the next round, whilst Liverpool won the fecking thing with a far more impressive comeback. I found the amount of hype we subsequently attributed to it (one of our greatest European nights according to some!!???) a bit sad and very symptomatic of our lowering standards. Miserable I know. Sorry. But if you told me 9 years ago that one of our “greatest moments” since would be a Round of 16 win against PSG I’d have been incredibly underwhelmed. That kind of thing should never be a truly “great” night for Manchester United unless it’s part of a victorious campaign. For me at any rate.
At least the Europa was a trophy we’d never won against an historically glamorous side. “That night in Paris” was a plucky underdog tale, where we were the Mighty Ducks/Jamaican Bobsled team…

I hated that night we won in Paris as I knew all the dumb fans would be clamouring for Solskjaer as full time manager. A dark night.
Has to be the Europa League. Jose getting the boot a close second.
The match against City when we beat them 4-2 with Van Gaal and then the post match press conference when he said he was allowed to go to Wings because he'd won!
What a seriously miserable person you must be for that not to be a positive night for you
For me too. He's still got it.
This.
I was definitely in the camp of he's got to go after the Liverpool game but there have been many more enjoyable games under Ole than Moyes, LVG and Mourinho. 100%.
We won the FA Cup, EL and had a pretty great CL result against PSG. We have a League Cup as a footnote.
Don’t downplay that stuff. The entitlement of this fan base. Jeez

How could United getting a jammy win convince so many people that a failed Cardiff City manager could get us back to the top when our rivals had Klopp and Guardiola? I knew we were making a big mistake.What a seriously miserable person you must be for that not to be a positive night for you
In fairness, the title of the thread isn’t “Whats every single moment you’ve enjoyed at all?”
Paris obviously and also Evra's goal against Bayern (I try to forget what happened next)
The double under Mourinho, i know the following season was catastrophical but after that double I thought we were going places.
