The loss at Stamford Bridge, for instance, featured some of the best football United have played this season, while Sir Alex's men showed plenty of character to bounce back from defeat at Anfield with a rousing 2-0 win against Arsenal.
Over the course of the month, a number of players made vital contributions and we've picked out four men we believe had the biggest impact in March.
Wayne Rooney scored against Chelsea and Arsenal and set up Javier Hernandez's opener when Marseille came to Old Trafford. And it wasn't just his goals that made a difference: Wayne's approach play and passing also carried real menace.
Hernandez also makes the shortlist. He netted a consolation goal at Anfield before firing two past Marseille to launch United into the Champions League quarter-finals.
Chris Smalling continues to make huge strides. The young defender started every game in March and, bar an indiscretion that handed Chelsea a penalty, never once looked ruffled. He was particularly assured in the FA Cup fixture against Arsenal.
Antonio Valencia rounds out our top four. He may have only played 163 of a possible 450 minutes, but his impact was huge, particularly when you consider his comeback came after six months on the sidelines after serious injury. Sir Alex said: "It’s marvellous to have him back. What a great, fabulous player he is."
