Could it be 1995 all over again for United this weekend?
-
Cast your mind back to the dark days of May 1995 - a season which ended in tortuous style for United fans.
Few campaigns have finished quite as painfully as this one.
Going in to the final match of the season Blackburn had a slender but crucial two point lead over United.
Both faced tough away games for their final match with Blackburn at Liverpool and United at West Ham.
A slip up from Blackburn would let United sneak in for the title - and Rovers duly obliged by going down 2-1.
But United lost out because they couldn't find a winner against the Hammers and a 1-1 draw was not enough.
Although United lead Chelsea at the top of the table this time round, the same scenario applies this weekend as it did 13 years ago. United must win at all costs against Wigan this weekend to ensure the title is theirs.
That match against West Ham will be forever ingrained on the memory of those who watched it - and no doubt those who played.
And the United captain back in 1995 - one Steve Bruce who is now manager of, er, Wigan.
