Manchester United unveil special programme featuring George Best and Eusebio for Champions League clash with Benfica at Old Trafford

Two iconic figures from football's past are honoured on the front cover of Manchester United's programme for the visit of Benfica.

A picture of George Best and Eusebio - two of the most celebrated players of their era - takes pride of place on the United Review for the Champions League clash.

The setting for the picture was a friendly in Los Angeles in 1967 but the two did battle in much more competitive environments during the Sixties.

In fact Best, who passed away in 2005, enjoyed perhaps his most notable night in United colours against Benfica little more than half a century ago.
