A knack that fans may have feared was lost since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013 but Ashley Youngs goal this week has proven that Uniteds fighting spirit remains intact regardless of the manager in the hot seat. With the game seemingly set to end in a bore draw, Wayne Rooney harried the Magpies defence into a series of mistakes and Young finished tidily into the bottom corner to keep the Red Devils in the top four. Although its true that last minute goals are a regular occurrence, more often than not United are the side punishing defences who relax and feel that the game is finished and the Red Devils havent been short of late winners or equalisers this season either. Two last gasp equalisers from Daley Blind against West Brom and West Ham reminded fans of Fergusons reign and who can forget Robin Van Persies emphatic poachers effort at Old Trafford against Chelsea this season? It was feared during David Moyes tenure that this was a quality specific to a United team under Ferguson but the players have shown a willingness to fight for Louis Van Gaal this term. Lets take a look at five last minute United goals that will live in the memories of fans forever.
