Manchester United became the first English side to play in the European Cup
and their first match on home soil saw them beat Anderlecht 10-0. It was
going to be easy wasn't it! Ironically home soil for United in their first
few home European matches was Manchester City's Maine Road ground.
City had floodlights but Old Trafford didn't! United didn't play their first
home match under floodlights until later in the 1956/57 season - a League
match against Bolton on March 25th 1957. |
