Alex Ferguson's side were tasked with ending a championship drought dating back to 1967 and had agonisingly just failed to do that in 1991/92 when Leeds pipped us to the post in the last season of the old Division One.
After a bad start to the new campaign, comprising two defeats and a draw in the first three games, the Reds forced ourselves into contention to win the title. At kick-off on Saturday 10 April 1993, we were one point behind the leaders Aston Villa with six matches apiece left to play.
With nerves jangling, and the scars of 1991/92 still raw, United were being thrown off course when Sheffield Wednesday took the lead in the 65th minute through Stretford-born John Sheridan's penalty, after Paul Ince fouled Chris Waddle inside the box.
