No great escape as United caged by the Canaries

Norwich City 1 Manchester United 0

In that incredible 1998-99 campaign, the side managed a remarkable 15 comebacks in 59 games.

As the current team come close to that record, similar phrases have been used while there has been growing talk about replicating the drama of that treble season, if maybe not the stunning trophy haul. Had they recovered to win against Norwich on Saturday, for example, it would have been their sixth such comeback in 12 league games, complemented by three in four in Europe.
