Over the past few days, I have been tweeting video footage of Manchester United’s FA Cup wins. Every win but 1908 under Ernest Magnall has been captured.
Here’s the full collection of tweets so you can revel in some nostalgia and glory.
Now, United can concentrate on the Cup Final. Will start a thread of our previous wins, continuing until Saturday.
