2003–04 Manchester United F.C. season

The 2003–04 season was Manchester United's 12th season in the Premier League, and their 29th consecutive season in the top division of English football. United won a record eleventh FA Cup with a 3–0 win over Millwall at Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, but surrendered the Premier League title to unbeaten champions Arsenal, with a second half dip in league form coinciding with Rio Ferdinand starting an eight-month ban from football due to a missed drugs test and restricting United to a third-place finish.
