Manchester United and AC Milan are two of the biggest clubs in European football.
Let's take a look at some memorable matches that have involved the two clubs.
All of these encounters have taken place in the Champions League or European Cup but their next two fixtures will be in the last 16 of the Europa League.
1969 European Cup Semi Final Second Leg
United were reigning champions of Europe but had struggled in the league during the 1968/1969 season.
They lost the first leg 2-0 and won the second only 1-0 which meant they were out of Europe. They could consider themselves to be very unlucky aswell.
2007 Champions League Semi Final First Leg
A dramatic night at Old Trafford which had a memorable ending. A 3-2 victory for United resulted in a huge Old Trafford roar but wasn't enough in the overall tie.
They were ultimately knocked out after losing the second leg 3-0.
2010 Champions League Last 16 Second Leg
Finally, United were to overcome AC Milan in the Champions League. A 3-2 first leg win was a superb result and meant United were huge favourites to progress.
The focus on the second leg was on two players. First was Wayne Rooney who was in the form of his life. Second was David Beckham who was returning to play at Old Trafford for the first time as an opposition player.
It turned into a comfortable evening for United, as they won 4-0 on the night which meant a huge 7-2 win on aggregate.
