Ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Porto, reminisce over the time the two sides met when the Red Devils weren’t a mess…

Back in 1996/97, United were still getting to grips with the Champions League. But they welcomed Porto to Old Trafford and preceded to blow them away in the quarter-final first leg.

United were superb in raucous Old Trafford atmosphere. Sir Alex Ferguson picked a bold XI, with one holding midfielder behind a world-class front five. Porto – featuring Sergio Conceicao, one of the contenders to replace Erik ten Hag – simply could not cope, and were beaten by a couple of goals in each half.
