Ruben Amorim revealed watching a documentary on Manchester United’s famous 1999 Treble triumph in “Fergie Time” inspired his team’s stunning last-gasp comeback to reach the Europa League semi-finals.
United had been 4-2 down to Lyon and although Bruno Fernandes pulled a goal back they were moments away from defeat, before Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire scored in the 120th and 121st minute.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who led United to Champions League glory with injury-time goals at the Nou Camp 26 years ago, watched from the stands as Amorim’s side secured a 7-6 aggregate win in the most thrilling evening of the Portuguese’s reign.
