8 Classic Man Utd/Newcastle Old Trafford Encounters
5. Manchester United 1-1 Newcastle United, August 21st 1993 (Premier League)
A classic for the simple reason that it was the first encounter between the pair after the formation of the Premier League in the early-1990s. In just their third game back in the top flight, the Magpies managed to finally secure a point having lost at home to Tottenham Hotspur and away to Coventry City in their opening two matches of the 1993-94 season. Man Utd went on to be crowned Premier League champions for the second season in succession but Andy Cole (pictured above, but not in the same game) cancelled out Ryan Giggs' opener with just 20 minutes remaining to earn Kevin Keegan's side a hard-fought draw.
