Could there have been a second United Treble?

The 2007/08 season was undoubtedly one of the best in the history of the club, with United lifting the Premier League trophy, plus, the Champions League at the end of the season.

However, Sir Alex Ferguson’s side missed out on the opportunity to match the still unique achievement of our 1999 Treble-winning heroes, losing 1-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford to a Portsmouth side who went on to win the trophy at Wembley.

That defeat still rankles with Wayne, who jokingly suggests Sir Alex’s selection of Rio Ferdinand, and not him, to play in goal after substitute keeper Tomasz Kuszczak’s sending off, was a huge error of judgement, as Sulley Muntari tucked away a late penalty for the only goal of the game.
