The 1991–92 season was a transitional but pivotal year for Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson. United finished 2nd in the First Division, narrowly missing out on the title to Leeds United after leading much of the campaign. They lifted the League Cup, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 with a Brian McClair goal, marking Ferguson’s first major trophy at United. In Europe, they won the UEFA Super Cup, defeating Red Star Belgrade 1–0, while their European Cup Winners’ Cup campaign ended in the second round. Despite league disappointment, the season laid the foundation for United’s dominance in the newly formed Premier League.
