On Saturday night at 8pm, fans will be transported back to United's first major success on the European stage.
Only one decade on from the tragic Munich air disaster of 1958, you'll be able to watch Matt Busby lead a side made up of some old faces and new to European Cup success against Benfica.
Featuring the likes of Bobby Charlton and George Best on the United side, the brilliant Portuguese footballer Eusébio was on show that night as Benfica went down 4-1 to United after extra-time.

Nine years after winning the trophy for the first time, Alex Ferguson guides a Manchester United team packed full of stars to Champions League success against Chelsea in Moscow.
Starting from 9:30pm, you'll get to experience once more the agony of a penalty shoot-out that so nearly went the way of the Londoners.

Taking you back to Turin, the heartbreak of a yellow-card that would rule Roy Keane's out of any final United could hope to qualify for, and the subsequent performance from the Cork man that would in part define his legacy, you can turn back to where this weekend started then if you so desire.
From 9pm, Virgin Media Sport will show that Champions League final defeat of Bayern Munich in '99 again.
To all Manchester United fans, enjoy!
