The 1994-95 Premier League season wasn’t a good one for the Red Devils. After narrowly losing out on two domestic trophies, their only consolation was beating Manchester City 5-0 at Old Trafford that year.

Eric Cantona and Mark Hughes were on the scoresheet that night, with a goal each but it was their Ukrainian winger, Andrei Kanchelskis, who sealed the deal with a brilliant hat-trick.

The victory was especially sweet as it came at the back of a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in the Champions League.

Their humiliating defeated was cause for much joy among City fans, many going to the extent of buying Barcelona jerseys. The 5-0 defeat inflicted by United was their biggest victory in the Manchester derby.
