On Wednesday when Manchester United hosts Juventus at the Old Trafford the Stretford end will once again sing the song "Viva Ronaldo" with the Portuguese winger donning the famous black and white striped jersey of the Old Lady of Turin. The match will also witness Paul Pogba playing his first match against his former club since his switch to the red of Manchester.

Manchester.
This will also be the first time in 15 years that the two European giants will be facing off against each other and only the third time since the classic 1998/1999 UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
