Man United had 'no regrets' about what they did to Everton even if David Moyes made them pay

Everton triumphed on eight occasions at the original Wembley with a quartet of both FA Cup final and Charity Shield successes but their only victory to date at the new national stadium came 15 years ago today.

After captain Dixie Dean headed in during Everton’s 3-0 win over Manchester City in the 1933 FA Cup final to give the club their inaugural success under the Twin Towers, they also lifted the trophy against Sheffield Wednesday (3-2 in 1966); Watford (2-0 in 1984) and Manchester United (1-0 in 1995). Although Charity Shield matches took place at club grounds in the early years, the Blues took the honours at Wembley in the season’s traditional curtain-raiser against Liverpool (1-0 in 1984); Manchester United (2-0 in 1985); Coventry City (1-0 in 1987) and Blackburn Rovers (1-0 in 1995) as well as sharing it with the Reds after a 1-1 draw in 1986.

Since the north London venue was rebuilt though, Everton’s only success there so far was in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United on April 19, 2009. Alex Ferguson’s side were chasing a repeat of the treble they’d secured a decade early but although they’d hold on to lift their third Premier League title in a row, they’d lose 2-0 to Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona in the Champions League final and their hopes of securing a domestic double were dashed by David Moyes’ men.

And Ferguson picked a changed side for the match, with youngsters Federico Macheda and Fabio da Silva among the players handed starts.

"I am absolutely convinced I picked the right team," he said. "I have no regrets about it
