Virgin Media Sport's Man United weekend showing six classic matches on TV

Virgin Media Sport will show six classic Man United European matches this weekend - keeping Red Devils fans entertained in the absence of live football.

The channel is showing a number of other classic Euro games but the main focus on Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be United classics.

Things kick off on Friday April 10 at 8pm with last season's drama-filled away win over PSG in the Champions League last 16.

Jose Mourinho's 2017 Europa League final win over Ajax in Stockholm takes centre stage at 9pm on the Virgin Media Sport channel.

On Saturday, the clock is turned back to 1968 at 8pm with the chance to relive George Best and Bobbby Charlton taking down Benfica in the European Cup final at Wembley Stadium.

Another memorable final win will be shown at 9:30pm - United's thrilling penalty shootout Champions League triumph over Chelsea in 2008.
