Best FA Cup games involving United

So far it has been a disappointing season for Manchester United. With Thursday's loss to Midtjylland the only realistic chance for united winning a trophy is the FA Cup.
Monday they visit Shrewsbury, a tricky fixture.
Over the years Man United has been involved in some mouth watering ties in the FA Cup.

Manchester United 0 Arsenal 2
This game led to the departure of David Beckham from Manchester United in 2003. Ferguson was so furious that he kicked a boot which ended up hitting Beckham just above the eye. While Beckham played down the incident, his days at Old Trafford were numbered.


Manchester United 3 Millwall 0
While this game is not known for being explosive,  it's significance cannot be ignored. It is the last time Manchester United won the FA Cup. A youthful Cristiano Ronaldo was among the scorers as United easily won the game at the Millennium Stadium.

Manchester United would later appear in two other finals,  against Arsenal in 2005 where they completely outplayed Arsenal but ended up losing on penalty shootout and Chelsea in 2007 losing by a single goal from Didier Drogba.

The replay

A highly explosive semi-final encounter with Arsenal in 1999 was settled by perhaps the greatest goal in the FA Cup history. The dream for the Treble had just began
