How United's 2nd European trophy was won

Manchester United will be looking to complete a full set of European honours later this month - a set that gained its second piece on this day, 15 May, 26 years ago.

While the Netherlands will provide the opposition for the Europa League final on 24 May, in the form of Ajax, the same country was the setting for a thrilling end to the European Cup Winners' Cup campaign in 1990/91.

It was the first season English clubs had been allowed to play in Europe after the five-year ban imposed in the wake of the Heysel Stadium disaster in 1985.
