Sir Alex Ferguson's side were taking on Bradford City and made light of the away fixture, eventually racking up a 4-0 win, en route to retaining the Premier League title.
With the Reds 2-0 ahead, courtesy of a pair of Dwight Yorke goals in the first half, there was a moment that will be forever replayed as our midfield genius produced a volley that perfectly encapsulated his extraordinary technique.
David Beckham headed out to the left wing to take a corner in front of the away end and delivered a ball with his usual unerring accuracy.
His colleague for club and country did the rest, leaping in the air to smash a ridiculous strike past Matt Clarke in the Bantams' goal.
