Manchester United host Fulham on the opening day again this weekend, Can you remember Fergie’s XI that were given a fright by the newly-promoted Cottagers in 2001?

Jean Tigana’s Championship winners turned up at Old Trafford and gave a side featuring two huge summer signings a scare by taking the lead twice.

Sir Alex Ferguson was so infuriated, he later punished Fulham by signing the goalscorer. And one of the United centre-backs marking him never played for Fergie again. Not just because of that, but the other reasons weren’t solid either.

United, though, fought back, thanks largely to a brace from one of those summer signings.

No more clues – now we need the XI in full…
