Match backgroundSL Benfica and Manchester United FC are long-standing European rivals but, while the visitors are looking to make itthree Group A wins in as many games, the Portuguese side must regroup swiftly after a heavy defeat last time out.

Previous meetings• United have prevailed in six of the clubs' nine encounters, starting with a quarter-final triumph in the 1965/66European Champion Clubs' Cup and continuing with their 1967/68 final success at Wembley as the English sidecaptured the trophy for the first time.

• Benfica's sole win came when a team including Luisão beat United 2-1 in Lisbon in December 2005, eliminating SirAlex Ferguson's team at the group stage for the first time since 1994.
