PL and FA Cup Double. Cantona 18 goals. 8 points clear. Foundation of two-decade dominance.
Manchester United's 1993–94 double winners were Ferguson's first Premier League dynasty, securing the league and FA Cup—only the fourth club to achieve that feat then. Eric Cantona netted 18 league goals and the team finished eight points clear of Blackburn Rovers (#9 on this list). Their final tally of 92 points was 15 points higher than the league average for champions in the early 1990s. The squad also featured Roy Keane, signed for £3.75 million that summer, Mark Hughes, Brian McClair, and Peter Schmeichel, with youth products Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt emerging. They scored 80 goals, 20% more than the typical title winner's average. This side outperformed #3 Newcastle's 1995–96 team by winning the double, a level Newcastle never reached, and laid the foundation for two decades of dominance.
