The culture at Manchester United was reset by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - to the 1970s or 80s. United strayed close to six years without any use for silver polish in 1974 and were relegated. That trophy drought extended to nine years but United's rebirth began with relegation.
Supporters of a certain vintage cherish the 1974-75 season in Division Two following Doc's Red Army as United steamrollered to promotion, the upward trajectory continuing with a third-place finish back in the top tier and an FA Cup final against Southampton.
But for an errant linesman, United's return to the upper echelons might have been crowned with a first trophy since the European Cup in 1968. Manager Tommy Docherty vowed United would be back at Wembley the next year to win it and they did, kiboshing Liverpool's Treble hopes.
