35 Years Ago Today: Manchester United beat Arsenal 2-6 in the Rumbelows Cup. 19 year old @Sharpeyofficial scored a hat-trick (his first was an outrageously good goal).

On this day in 1990, United beat Wrexham 2-0 at the Racecourse Ground to win 5-0 on aggregate and progress to the Cup Winners’ Cup quarter-final. The travelling fans even had time to rub salt in City fans’ wound after Howard Kendall left the club to return to Everton 😅

#OnThisDay in 1957, Les Sealey was born. The goalkeeper was a vital part of the 1991 Cup Winners’ Cup campaign, playing through serious pain to compete in the final 🧤🏆 Les sadly passed away in 2001, age just 43.

Little did anyone know at the time, it would be the last European game until the Cup Winners’ Cup kicked off in September 1990 - also against Hungarian opposition.
United in Europe ... 20th March 1985 ... Videoton - MUFC ... Qtr Final 2nd leg... not the best of nights ... we lose in Hungary on penalties ... and are out of the UEFA Cup ... a bit of a throwaway really ... we should at least have gotten to the Final ... @UtdBeforFergie
