Man Utd: Howard (Carroll 84), Gary Neville, Brown, Silvestre, O'Shea, Ronaldo (Solskjaer 84), Fletcher (Butt 84), Keane, Giggs, Scholes, van Nistelrooy.
Millwall: Marshall, Ryan (Cogan 74), Ward, Lawrence, Elliott, Sweeney, Livermore, Wise (Weston 89), Ifill, Cahill, Harris (McCammon 75).


The game was staged at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff with Wembley under reconstruction, and plucky underdogs Millwall provided the opposition after the First Division side had knocked out Walsall, Telford United, Burnley, Tranmere Rovers and Sunderland en route to the final.
Having finished 15 points off champions Arsenal and four back from runners-up in the Premier League, the final represented a golden opportunity for Alex Ferguson’s side to avoid ending the season empty-handed. For the Lions, who claimed 10th place in England’s second tier, it was the chance to pit themselves against some of the best players in the world and maybe, just maybe, cause one of the greatest upsets in modern football. Their mission was made that bit tougher by news that captain Kevin Muscat would miss out with a knee injury, while striker Danny Dichio was unavailable through suspension.


Player/manager Dennis Wise, an FA Cup winner with Wimbledon’s Crazy Gang in 1988, picked himself in midfield alongside David Livermore and Tim Cahill was tasked with getting forward to support lone striker Neil ‘Chopper’ Harris. Once-capped Ireland international Richie Sadlier had been forced to retire at the age of 24 the previous September but fellow Dubliner Robbie Ryan, making his final appearance for Millwall after rejecting a one-year contract extension, was named at left-back. That meant he was given the unenviable task of marking a talented, young Portuguese winger who was coming to end of his debut season in English football. Cristiano Ronaldo had shown glimpses of brilliance since a £12.24 million move from Sporting Lisbon in the summer of 2003, but the 19-year-old was still learning his trade and occasionally left team-mates, fans and his manager frustrated with his inconsistency and lack of an end product.
And named in a United team which also featured captain Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy, the teenager looked to take centre stage in front of 71,350 fans — twisting and turning Ryan and the rest of the Millwall players inside out at every opportunity.
