The 1992–93 and 1993–94 seasons were defining years for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.

In 1992–93, United won the inaugural Premier League, their first league title in 26 years. Eric Cantona’s arrival in November proved pivotal, linking with Ryan Giggs, Mark Hughes, and Paul Ince to transform United into champions.

The 1995–96 season was another triumph for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. Despite criticism after selling Paul Ince, Mark Hughes, and Andrei Kanchelskis, Ferguson’s trust in the “Class of ’92” — David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt, and the Neville brothers — paid off. United won the Premier League, overcoming a 12-point deficit to pip Newcastle United in a thrilling title race, with Eric Cantona inspirational after returning from suspension.
