Ahead of Manchester United's Europa League tie against A.S Roma, we take a look at one of the most memorable matches between the two clubs.
United had lost the first leg 2-1 and the second leg was expected to be close...
Michael Carrick scored United's first on the night and Alan Smith fired home before Wayne Rooney added their third of the night, finishing off a superb move.
Cristiano Ronaldo added United's fourth before half-time. This was actually his first goal in the Champions League proper.
13 YEARS AGO TODAY: Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first ever Champions League goal, as Man United beat Roma 7-1.

After not scoring in his first 30 #UCL matches, it's safe to say this goal started off something VERY special! 😅

Ronaldo then slid home a Ryan Giggs cross before Carrick smashed home a sixth and got his second of the night.
Roma replied through Daniele De Rossi before Patrice Evra's low shot rounded off United's amazing 8-3 aggregate win.
There has been some memorable European nights for Manchester United and this was one of the best.

Being in the Stretford End to see Man United beat Roma 7-1 just 2 days after my birthday! Was only slightly more than I’d hoped for! 😉 #bbcfootball
