Gary Neville praised Lisandro Martinez after his stunning opening goal against Liverpool on Sunday.
The defender struck the ball powerfully within ten yards of goal, bouncing off the crossbar and beating Allison at his near post.
The United legend compared the goal to Ryan Giggs' goal in the 1999 FA Cup semi-final, when the midfielder scored in the 109th minute to earn United a place in the final against Newcastle.
'That's where Manchester United are struggling with a bit of calm and class. It comes from Bruno Fernandes,” Neville said.
'Is he over it? No. He just hits it off the roof of the net. No chance, Alisson.
'It almost looks like Ryan Giggs in the cup replay of the '99 semi-final against Arsenal.'
Giggs' goal spawned an iconic chant that United fans sang against Arsenal, as a joke for their song about Patrick Vieira.
Vieira gave the ball away to Giggs, who scored a sensational solo goal and dribbled past five Arsenal players to win the match for United.
To the tune of 'Volare', Arsenal fans sing: 'Viera whoah, Viera whoah, he's from Senegal, he played for Arsenal!'
United fans adapted the tune to instead sing: 'Viera whoah, Viera whoah, he gave Giggsy the ball, and Arsenal won f*** all!'
