A LEGENDARY COUNTDOWN

United and the European Cup go hand in hand, dating all the way back to that historic 1956/57 season under Sir Matt Busby.

But our countdown here focuses specifically on the rebranded Champions League years and from the club's first involvement, back in 1994/95.

Barring the odd blemish, our record in the group stage has been exemplary and there have been some truly magnificent goals scored along the way.

But which have made it into our top 25? Scroll down to see which strikes are included in the first part of our list, from 25 to 11.
