After a dramatic 5-4 victory over Arsenal, United were off to Belgrade for a European Cup Quarter Final over Red Star Belgrade.

What happened?
The match finished 3-3 and United qualified for the European Cup Semi Finals for the second year running.
After the game, a cocktail party for the players was held at the British Embassy.
The match would go down in history for a lot of reasons and would sadly be the last game for so many of United's players.
