FOOTBALL MEMORIES

There was something almost inevitable about Manchester United in 2012–2013. Sir Alex Ferguson's last season – and he had one plan: to bring the title back. In came Robin van Persie from Arsenal, and the rest almost felt like a formality.

Van Persie delivered exactly what United had been missing. Goals. Lots of goals. 26 in the league, top scorer, and consistently the difference in close matches. And then there was the goal against Aston Villa – a hat-trick, where especially the volley from Rooney's long pass is still shown again and again. It wasn't just a goal. It was a championship moment.

The team around him was a mix of routine and efficiency. Carrick controlled the midfield, Rooney worked and created space, and behind them stood Ferdinand and Vidic as a last bastion. It wasn't the most spectacular United team – but it was one that knew exactly how to win.

This shirt represents the end of an era. Ferguson's last triumph. Van Persie's one, perfect season in red. Not much talk – just results.

Is this the shirt that reminds you of when United still just… won?
