When was champions league final at old trafford

Manchester United are one of the most successful clubs in Europe, having lifted a record 20 Premier League titles and multiple Champions League trophies. The Red Devils have been the dominant force in England for most of the 21st century, though their success has slowed down since legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down from his post in , with United having not won a Premier League title since.

Still, though, Manchester United are one of the most decorated clubs not just in Europe, but the world. They have been the best English team on home soil for the better part of the last couple of decades, but are they the most successful club in England overall?

Depends on who you ask. Man Utd have won the Champions League including European Cup, since its rebrand on three occasions.

They lifted their first trophy in in a victory over Benfica in the final under the management of Sir Matt Busby. And it was a similar story three years later, when the Reds were paired with Rotor Volgograd. It was the first time since the Heysel Disaster that England had four representatives in the tournament but, with the away goals rule now in place, United bowed out following a stalemate in Russia and draw at Old Trafford. Goals from Ashley Young and Javier Hernandez did the damage in Amsterdam, and proved decisive as the Dutch side won at Old Trafford in the reverse fixture.

The result set up a meeting with Ander Herrera and Athletic Club who, despite three goals from Wayne Rooney over two legs, knocked the Reds out with a aggregate victory. It meant the Reds were seeded for the Round of 32 draw, during which we were partnered with Danish side Midtjylland.

Despite a shock first-leg defeat, what followed was a memorable moment for one of the club's Academy stars, as Marcus Rashford burst onto the scene with two goals on his senior debut, helping United to a win at Old Trafford.

Premier League rivals Liverpool awaited in the last 16, which would prove a bridge too far for van Gaal's men. The Reds had it all to do following a defeat on Merseyside, and couldn't overcome the deficit during the home leg. Structured data Items portrayed in this file depicts.
