Manchester United Treble: As the pinnacle of world football, MU's historic treble is considered a unique "masterpiece". So what do you know about this historic treble? Let's find out with 2Sport the top-best Manchester United treble of all time!
A football treble refers to a team winning three major trophies in a single season. These trophies typically include the league title, domestic cup, and a major European competition such as the Champions League or Europa League. It is considered a rare and significant achievement in football, as it requires a team to be successful in multiple competitions over the course of a single campaign.
There have been quite a few teams that have won the treble in history such as Barcelona, Inter Milan, Bayern, Manchester United, etc. In England, only the Red Devils have won this treble.
Man City has consecutively won the Premier League for the past two seasons with the highest points total in history. This season, they continue to win the treble of domestic trophies. However, this achievement is not as beautiful and "unmatched" as the treble of 1999 of Man United, a treble that is considered the pinnacle of excellence.
