It's 30 years since Manchester United arrived in Istanbul and were greeted by hundreds of snarling Galatasaray fans and a sign that read "Welcome to hell."

In November 1993, Sir Alex Ferguson's team needed to win to avoid a shock exit. Amid a hostile atmosphere, which began the moment the plane touched down in Turkey, they could only draw 0-0. United return to Istanbul this week in a similar situation with their Champions League campaign hanging by a thread.
