| Another member of Fergie's Fledglings, Nicky Butt was brought into the side to fill the gap left by Paul Ince's move to Inter Milan. An England under-21 midfielder, he was a member of club's 1992 FA Youth Cup-winning side and England's Under-19 World Cup squad in Australia, March 1993. Butt was one of the few successes of United's 1994-95 Champions League campaign, gaining valuable experience against Barcelona and Gotenburg, where he made his full debut. His outstanding performances for United in Europe ensured that he received a call-up to the England under-21 side on the back of that performance.
A consistent performer in the 'double' season of 1995-96, playing along side Roy Keane in the heart of United's midfield. |
