Butt got a 77th minute winner in a 3-2 victory over a strong Leeds side in November. Yorke got an 89th minute winner against Charlton in January, while Giggs’ aforementioned goal to beat Coventry in February came in the 79th minute. Each one of those games contributed to United finishing a single point ahead of reigning champions Arsenal by the campaign’s close in May. Up stepped captain Keane, who produced one of the greatest individual performances in United's history. United were denied victory by Bayern Munich twice, home and away. In Munich, the home side equalised with two minutes to go with United leading 2–1, after Schmeichel uncharacteristically went for and missed Bixente Lizarazu's throw-in, allowing Giovane Élber to tap in from a few yards out and score his second of the match.

They then went on a three-match tour of Scandinavia, starting with a 2–2 draw against Vålerenga, before comprehensive wins over Brøndby (6–0) and Brann (4–0). After the season began, they also played a friendly against a Europe XI selected by former striker Eric Cantona as a belated memorial to the Munich air disaster, which happened 40 years earlier; Cantona played for both teams during the match, which Manchester United won 8–4. A testimonial for Teddy Scott was scheduled against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in January; United lost 7–6 on penalties after a 1–1 draw in 90 minutes. [2] Date
