Six times United had to score away in Europe

With AC Milan registering that late away goal, courtesy of Simon Kjaer’s header, the Reds have to at least score in Italy to have any chance of avoiding a last-16 exit, which is something we’ve failed to do in four of our five away meetings with the Rossoneri.

It’s a fairly rare occasion for us to be in – over the years, we have become accustomed to playing second legs at Old Trafford (as a reward for winning our group), or taking a first-leg lead at the Theatre of Dreams, as happened against Inter Milan in 1999 and Arsenal in 2009, among others.
