- The 1989–90 season was Manchester United's 88th season in the Football League, and their 15th consecutive season in the top division of English football. The season brought their lowest league finish since their relegation from the First Division 15 years earlier, as they finished 13th in the league, and by Christmas there were continued calls from fans for Alex Ferguson to be sacked as manager. However, the season ended on a high as United won the FA Cup by beating Crystal Palace 1–0 in a replay after drawing the first game 3–3. It was their first major trophy for five years, and their first since the appointment of Alex Ferguson as manager. It also saw them enter European competition as England's representatives in the 1990–91 European Cup Winners' Cup following the end of the ban on English clubs in European competition arising from the Heysel Stadium disaster of 1985. 1989–90 saw Mark Hughes top the club's goalscoring charts for the second year running, while the club welcomed four new major signings in the early part of the season – Danny Wallace, Neil Webb, Paul Ince and Gary Pallister. Young striker Mark Robins enjoyed regular appearances in the first team this season, often as a substitute, and scored 10 goals - including the winning goal against Nottingham Forest in the third round of the FA Cup. Lee Martin, who scored the winning goal in the FA Cup final replay, became the club's regular left-back this season. This season also saw the attempted purchase of the club by businessman Michael Knighton after chairman Martin Edwards considered selling the club for a reported £10 million. The sale fell through after Knighton was found to not have the money required to maintain the club. This period is best remembered for Knighton – wearing a United kit and tracksuit top – performing a keepie uppie routine before the opening game of the season at home to Arsenal. According to Alex Ferguson in his autobiography; Managing My Life (published nearly a decade later), this display of showboating annoyed Ferguson as he felt it was detrimental to his teams' preparation for the forthcoming match – although United did go on to win the game 4–1 against the defending champions. Ferguson also revealed in the autobiography that in spite of Manchester United's dismal form during the first half of the season, he was assured by the club's directors that his position as manager was never at risk; although naturally disappointed with the club's lack of progress in the league, they understood the reason for this - namely that a number of key players, including Neil Webb, were unavailable for long spells due to injury. However, Ferguson also admitted in his autobiography that had he not achieved success with United that season, he feared that fan and media pressure on the club's board to sack him could eventually have become irresistible. There had been numerous calls from fans during the season for Ferguson to be sacked, and media reports had suggested that the former Everton manager Howard Kendall would be appointed as his successor; Kendall was appointed by United's local rivals Manchester City during the season. Similarly, there were also reports that Knighton wanted to recruit England manager Bobby Robson, who had announced his intention to stand down after the 1990 FIFA World Cup; the collapse of Knighton’s takeover rendered this moot, and Robson instead became manager of PSV Eindhoven after the World Cup.

- Сезон 1989/90 стал для «Манчестер Юнайтед» 88-м сезоном в Футбольной лиге и 15-м сезоном подряд в высшем дивизионе чемпионата Англии. Перед началом сезона в клуб перешли Майк Фелан из «Норвич Сити» и Нил Уэбб из «Ноттингем Форест», заменившие в линии полузащиты ушедших Гордона Стракана и Нормана Уайтсайда. Команду также покинул опытный защитник Пол Макграт, перешедший в «Астон Виллу». В конце августа в клуб перешёл защитник «Мидлсбро» Гари Паллистер. «Юнайтед» заплатил за него за 2,3 млн фунтов, побив собственный трансферный рекорд. 13 сентября за £1,7 млн клуб подписал 21-летнего полузащитника «Вест Хэм Юнайтед» Пола Инса. В этом сезоне команда финишировала на 13-м месте, что стало худшим результатом с момента вылета из Первого дивизиона в сезоне 1974/75. По ходу сезона, в котором «Юнайтед» неудачно выступал в чемпионате, активно обсуждались слухи об увольнении Алекса Фергюсона, однако шотландец остался в клубе. По итогам сезона клуб стал обладателем Кубка Англии, обыграв «Кристал Пэлас» в переигровке финала. Это был первый трофей Фергюсона в качестве главного тренера клуба. Лучшим бомбардиром команды второй сезон подряд стал валлиец Марк Хьюз. (ru)
