Original retro vintage football shirt Manchester United 1996/98

The 1996–97 season was Manchester United's fifth season in the Premier League and their 22nd consecutive season in the top division of English football. United won the Premier League title with 75 points, putting them seven points clear of the three teams below them: Newcastle United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

They also reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, where they faced eventual winners Borussia Dortmund of Germany after losing both matches 1–0. Earlier in the tournament, they had lost their first home game in Europe, 1–0 to Turkish side Fenerbahçe in the group stage. Their defence of the FA Cup ended in the fourth-round replay with a 1–0 defeat to Wimbledon, while their attempt to win the League Cup was short-lived when they were eliminated in the fourth round by eventual winners Leicester City.
