Euro Elite: Mark Hughes v Barcelona (1991)

Next up in our series of videos looking back at some of Manchester United's heroes from previous European glories, we relive the European Cup Winners' Cup victory over Barcelona in 1991, a win inspired by Mark Hughes.

The forward was a man on a mission against his former club, following a short-lived spell at the Nou Camp, and scored both goals as Sir Alex Ferguson's men upset the odds in Rotterdam.

In the first year English clubs were allowed back into Europe, and having ended a trophy drought with the FA Cup the season before, Sparky set the tone for United's win against Johan Cruyff's much-fancied side with a close-range effort.
