United gained the sport 1-0 due to a late winner from Eric Cantona, however Ferguson claimed that he had been assured of the victory from the second he noticed Liverpool’s outfits.
Talking to the documentary 'Sir Alex Ferguson: Secrets and techniques of Success' in 2015, he was proven an image of the Liverpool facet of their shocking apparel and responded: “Christ almighty. Why did they do this? I stated to Brian Kidd [Ferguson’s then assistant] ‘1-0’ – due to that [Liverpool’s white suits]. It’s – I don’t know what you’d name it – conceitedness, over-confidence, I don’t know what, nevertheless it was ridiculous. I feel it was completely ridiculous.”

JUST IN [TRANSFERS]
Redknapp informed Paddy Energy: "[The suits] had been shockers, weren't they? Are you able to think about that now? After I suppose again to that, that was superb actually. I feel I should have been 21-22, guys, on the time.
"I nonetheless to at the present time don’t perceive why no-one went: 'Pay attention guys, why do not we simply put on our regular fits?' I feel we might overwhelmed United twice that yr within the league, and which may have been one thing to do with it. Possibly we thought, oh, we have carried out them within the league, we will beat them once more right here.
Do not miss... [REACTION]
"Subsequently, Alex Ferguson stated he knew he'd gained once we turned up in these fits. That was a load of b*******. As a result of in that sport we had been truly marginally higher I would say. There was clearly a mistake, Eric Cantona scores, and aside from that, there was nothing within the sport.
"So, to say that you simply see somebody in a white go well with and that is the distinction - we simply seemed ridiculous, Let's make no bones about it. We had a number of handsome lads in that crew, however none of us could make that go well with look good!”
However, Liverpool didn't flip as much as any future clashes with United in full-white fits once more, maybe worrying that it was a foul omen after their disappointment in 1996.
