Late nineties early noughties or 2006-9 united.
The treble winners:
1. Won the treble including the champions league not losing a match in nine matches played against bayern Munich, Barcelona, juventus and inter Milan. 29 goals in 11 champions league matches on our way to glory. 2. 42 match ALL COMPETITION unbeaten run from December 98 to October 99 (taibi ) 3. Three straight titles. 2006-9: 1. Three straight titles. 2. Won the champions league. 3. 25 match champions league unbeaten run. I actually believe the 2006-7 season was the best we played out of the six seasons but no squad and facing mourinho in the cup final ( think gigs had a wrongly disallowed goal that match) meant we couldn't match the treble of 8 years earlier. Will never forget the matches at home to Roma and Milan. The treble winners were obviously the greatest achieves and the character needed for those comebacks in the second half of that season |

out of the 2 choices above though, i would have to go to for the treble era as i was a home and away top red then, whereas i'd stopped going by 2006. |

The first match I can remember was the 95 cup final when everton beat us. I've seen footage of that team but its not the same as actually remembering it. |

2006-2009 for me on a personal level, simply because I attended a shitload of games compared to the treble 'era' when I was much younger. Ronaldo + Rooney at their peak CL 2008 final won't be beat in terms of the whole trip/experience. Exactly what anyone says of the '99 final who was there.
But my own bias aside, obviously the treble or '94 team. Incredible |

The 1994 double team will always be my favourite, probably because i was a starstruck 13 year old watching them. I remember watching them and just feeling like they were invincible heroes. Had every single kit and my bedroom was a shrine of posters to United.
In latter years we've had better players and the football has been of a higher standard but the 90s for me will always be a special time when United played football at 100mph whilst the rest of the league were playing at 60. Until arsenal came along in 1998 nobody could really touch us. |

07-10 is the best Utd have ever been in European football. The Treble team was more exciting but the superb defensive base of the latter team made it a much more solid and consistent force at the top level. Perhaps lacked a world class midfielder at the prime of their career, but there was great depth and options throughout the squad.
The Giggs-Scholes-Keane-Beckham 99 midfield is difficult to vote against though. |
