00:00...on Teesside and it's Manchester United's first visit to the Riverside Stadium.
00:05Will it be a momentous one for a club on the brink of their 10th championship?
00:10Alex Ferguson was smiling when the team arrived and he makes one change from the side that beat Nottingham Forest.
00:155-0 seven days ago.
00:17Nicky Butt returns after suspension and replaced...
00:20...is Lee Sharp who doesn't even make the substitutes bench but it's there that we find the club.
00:25Sub-Captain Steve Bruce who's just recovered from injury and Andy Cole again left out of the...
00:30...11 in favour of Paul Scholes.
00:32The side capped in by the Footballer of the Year.
00:35Eric Cantona and ironically it's Brian Robson and Viv Anderson both...
00:40...former Manchester United players whose team could help scupper United's title and...
00:45...double ambitions.
00:46They've just signed extended contracts that will keep them at Middlesbrough for the...
00:50...next three years and today they recall the former Manchester United goalkeeper Gary Walsh.
00:55...in place of Alan Miller.
00:56Robbie Musto is back in midfield.
00:58Jan Agafiutov...
01:00...is restored to the attack and both Brazilians Juninho and Branco are on...
01:05...the Parade.
01:10Referee Paul Durkin starts the match.
01:15A sellout crowd of just over 30,000 in the Riverside Stadium.
01:19Manchester United...
01:20...unites ticket allocation 2,600.
01:23But as they...
01:25...start the match in their blue and white shirts.
01:27These pictures will be watched by Manchester United supporters all...
01:30...over the world hoping for the best today.
01:35...in red shirts and white shorts.
01:37Playing from the right.
01:40Jamie Pollack is number 8.
01:43Jamie Pollack is number 8.
01:44Jamie Pollack is number 8.
01:45...into Musto.
01:46Big cheer for Juninho and...
01:49...middle...
01:50...the first attack.
01:51...the first attack.
01:52Pollack again.
01:53Musto.
01:55Motor however is in Israel.
01:56They literally push a star role.
01:57Once a bunch of battles in the world.
01:58They say...
01:59...when an angel Trump..
02:00...the first attack.
02:01ridiculousfall.
02:03It's over 50 talks.
02:05The first attack.
02:06The scene.
02:07This attack.
02:08The last attack.
02:09Definitelyил.
02:10We had some news in sad ministries.
02:12Ha ha!
02:14Ha!
02:15America.
02:16The battle.
02:17Whate.
02:19Shoot!
02:20Let us see看看.
02:21government's Tahoe!
02:22Just spit?
02:23It's a good idea.
02:24Turn ...
02:24And Jemilio gets it back in, oh goodness!
02:29In the opening seconds...
02:34Middlesbrough with Neil Cox sneaking in, almost taking...
02:39The lead, Jemilio, lovely skill to start with, then from on the ground he gets the cross in.
02:44And Cox has crept up to the far post, and the header goes wide.
02:49No, no, no, no, no!
02:54in a good position, it's a good challenge too
02:59It's a good challenge, it's a good challenge
03:04Oh, it's a bad one from Giannino, straight to but
03:09now Keane
03:10scolds
03:12but again
03:14Beckham
03:19Buck's made a forward run here
03:24Scholes in the centre waiting
03:28and the header out
03:29is by Musto for a corner
03:34Nice to come
03:39to the near post this time
03:43David May
03:44Oh, he's there
03:45Oh, it's in
03:48It's in
03:49David May
03:50for Manchester United
03:52from the corner
03:53the ball goes
03:54coming over the line
03:57and the start they wanted in the 14th
03:59minute as Ryan Giggs floats the corner
04:01far post
04:02David May's header is down
04:04it's away from Gary Walsh
04:06and the man on the line
04:07can do nothing about it
04:10It's Middlesbrough 0
04:11Manchester United 1
04:14and the man who's playing
04:16partly because of the injury to Steve Bruce
04:19has given Manchester United what could be a priceless lead
04:24Oh, Nicky Buck
04:28trying
04:29to find Scholes
04:30Cantonares square
04:31and Buck still in there
04:32and Giggs is there
04:33and Giggs is there
04:34Middlesbrough can't clear it
04:38Middlesbrough can't clear it
04:39It's back again
04:40with Erwin
04:44and the advantage was all over the place there
04:47The advantage was all over the place there
04:49it could so easily have been 2-0
04:51Dillian
04:53That's a lovely
04:54flowing run by Jemilia
04:55It's Bambi
04:59What an opportunity for Middlesbrough to equalise
05:04Beautifully set up by Jemilia
05:07From where he was
05:08you wouldn't blame Bambi
05:09for shooting
05:10although Jan Agafjertov
05:11on the far side
05:12was in a fantastic position
05:14but the way was blocked there
05:15Bambi was right to shoot
05:16his problem was
05:17he put it the wrong side of the place
05:19close
05:20Juninho
05:21sets it up
05:23but he had time to look
05:24behind the shot up there
05:25Bambi
05:27and the goals
05:28found Pollock dwelling
05:29on the ball
05:32a better one from Vickers
05:33now
05:34Musto
05:37they've got plenty in the middle here
05:38Musto
05:39and Brad Weissmichel
05:41who was angry at the way
05:43Fjertov came in
05:45and threw into a good attacking position
05:48Juninho
05:49Bombay
05:50Bombay
05:54well
05:55Nick Bambi's forced to corner
05:56after
05:58good work by
05:59Fjertov
06:00good block
06:01Pearson
06:02good block
06:04and no shot
06:05from the man who perhaps
06:06could have driven in
06:07Branko
06:09Manchester United
06:11Manchester United's defenders
06:12doing their jobs there
06:13closing down
06:14quickly
06:16there's like
06:1710 gigs warranty
06:19no he won't
06:22well that's a measure of his individual skill
06:25you wouldn't think
06:26from the position in which he picked up the ball
06:27there was really going to be a shot on
06:28but he
06:29found a way inside
06:30and he found it
06:32not too far away from the attack
06:34coast
06:36for reasons of segregation
06:37so the official attendance has been announced
06:39at 29
06:40921
06:41but the
06:42two and a half thousand
06:43Manchester United
06:44fans lucky enough to get tickets
06:45will be aware that
06:46say for the unlikely scenario
06:48of Newcastle
06:49scoring about six
06:51a draw was also
06:53very much
06:54what was needed today
06:56or could be enough for their team to win the championship
06:59and that gives them a little bit of leeway in the second half perhaps
07:04unless Middlesbrough can turn the match right round
07:09but Manchester United win it
07:13and relieve the danger
07:14indeed put Giggs into an attacking position
07:16Cantona and Scholes make their runs
07:19and that's an awkward one for Gary Walsh
07:21it came off his own player
07:23it's a corner
07:24the goalkeeper actually backtrack well
07:26it was Derek White
07:28who
07:29diverted that
07:32as you can see from that
07:33it was a looper
07:34Gary Walsh
07:35had to regain his position
07:37now a substitution
07:38Paul Scott
07:39Scholes is coming off
07:41and Andy Cole is coming on
07:44and Andy Cole
07:45did it
07:46and Andy Cole
07:48is coming on
07:49Well, it's a mixed reception for Andy Cole.
07:54But his first job will be to get into the penalty area where Manchester United are gathered for...
07:59a corner to be taken by Ryan Giggs.
08:04Oh, good gracious me!
08:08What a story!
08:09Andy Cole has come on and scored within seconds.
08:13It's his first...
08:14It's touch!
08:17Well, after all he's been through...
08:19After being brought on here to a few hoots and cheers, look how he answers the...
08:24The Celtics now!
08:25It comes off two players and Cole in that...
08:29Predatory position, hooks the ball in...
08:33From what?
08:34Two or three yards, but it's a perfect touch.
08:37And is this the goal...
08:39And clinches the championship for Manchester United early in the second half here.
08:45Andy Cole...
08:47What?
08:49Talk about inspired substitution.
08:51I'm sure his manager never thought that would happen straight away.

09:53wide
09:57cold
09:58But Keane, oh good running here.
10:03By Neville, Barry Walsh comes to meet him.
10:08That was an exciting foray by the left back.
10:10Nicky Butts gone to slot in for him.
10:12Another championship.
10:13And maybe another double.
10:19Manchester United still two goals to the good.
10:22And if Ryan Giggs...
10:23Giggs gets in there.
10:24Well, who knows what might happen.
10:27Here's Butts.
10:28Giggs.
10:33That comes up on the right.
10:34Giggs shoots.
10:35Oh, well that has settled it.
10:37They've won the championship.
10:38Now without any doubt at all.
10:40Ryan Giggs.
10:43It's 3-0 Manchester United.
10:45And a real flourish from one of their most gifted players.
10:48It was almost help yourself time here.
10:52Giggs had other...
10:53He was running on.
10:54But he saw the opportunity on his left side.
10:57And that flew...
10:58To Pascali Walsh.
11:01Splendid individual goal.
11:03Just beyond the goalkeeper's fingertips.
11:0681 minutes gone.
11:08And Ryan Giggs curves in the goal.
11:11That just emphasises...
11:13That Manchester United are going to win the FA Carling Premiership.
11:17In season 19.
11:1895.
11:1996.
11:24Andy Cole's on his way here.
11:25Gary Walsh has come to meet him.
11:28Gary Walsh has come to meet him.
11:29Gary Walsh has come to meet him.
11:30Gary Walsh has come to meet him.
11:31And...
11:33They can bring the trophy out now, really, can't they?
11:37They are indeed...
11:38The Champions.
11:39He has led them...
11:40To their third title.
11:41He has led them...
11:42To their third title.
11:43In four seasons.

12:58good there but
12:59it's such a
13:00tense and
13:01competitive
13:02week that

13:04there is a huge
13:05sense of relief

13:07having to see
13:08get the action out
13:09I've never ever been so nervous
13:10in all my life
13:11and if that's what's being a manager about
13:12they can forget it
13:13it was
13:14it was unbelievable

13:33what you don't know is how they can handle big game situations
13:36and the temperament
13:37well we're fairly centred
13:38it's certainly the temperament
13:39but only until you get experiences like today
13:42do you know
13:43more about them
13:44I think they've acquitted themselves brilliantly
13:46my first year here we
13:48we actually did the same as Newcastle has done
13:50this year
13:51being
13:53at one point
13:54I think we were 12 point clear of Leeds
13:56and we lost it on the last two weeks
13:58and I feel for Newcastle now
14:00I know exactly what they feel
