United won the cup in 1968 after Sir Matt Busby led them to a 4-1 win over Benfica at Wembley. This saw United become the first English club to be crowned champions of Europe.

The jerseys has been made from Parley thread with nine bottles used to make each jersey.

"This jersey represents an important moment for our club - when we became the first English team to win the competition.
