The season saw United lift the League Cup for the first time in their history with a 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest at Wembley, but they then endured the disappointment of being beaten to the league title by Leeds United, having led the league for much of the season.

New signings for 1991–92 included Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and England right-back Paul Parker. Ryan Giggs, who had played twice for United in 1990–91, broke into the first team and was one of the most exciting players in the country as he gained the PFA Young Player of the Year award.

Ukranian winger Andrei Kanchelskis, who had joined United in the later stages of the 1990–91 season, was also putting in star performances to give manager Alex Ferguson a more attacking alternative to the ageing Mike Phelan on the right hand side of midfield.
