The Legacy

Brian McClair arrived from Celtic to spearhead an attack that finished second in the First Division. Alex Ferguson guided the side to a strong league showing, though they finished nine points behind Liverpool. Bryan Robson continued to captain the midfield, often supported by the physical presence of Norman Whiteside and the creative passing of Gordon Strachan. Sharp served as the front sponsor for these Adidas kits throughout the league campaign. The team maintained a high tempo, but ultimately fell short of the league title during their push to narrow the gap at the top of the table.

Key Moment

Manchester United finished as runners-up in the First Division in the 1987-88 season.
