I'll be honest, I've thought many times that he was aiming for a cross, but, well... Nicky Hammond sure as thought he was crossing it, and it even looked like it was a cross at one point, then the ball swung.

And apart from Cantona's incredible one against Arsenal the same season, I saw no better strike from someone in a Man U shirt between '94 and '98. Better goals resulting from build-up, yes, but none better purely for the strike.
