That AZ first leg at Tannadice was one of my best memories as United fan in the last few years. 2nd leg we found out we had a bombscare of a keeper. But nothing will take away the memories of the first leg. Madness that there are United fans who don't want us in Europe, even against much lesser opposition than AZ because we have run out of a puff a bit towards the end of this season. Over the summer we will be recruiting as a top 6 Premiership club not a newly promoted one that none of us predicted would finish in the top 6. We are in a better place.
