Manchester United fans looking for a pick-me-up to help them through their poor start to the season will be given the opportunity to bid for a 50-year-old Scotch whisky to toast the club's European Cup victory in 1968.
It won't be cheap though as just four bottles — one for each goal scored in their famous 4-1 win over Benfica — have been created by Chivas, United's global spirits partner.
One of the bottles will be sold by world-renowned auction house Sotheby's in an online-only auction between November 23 and 30, with proceeds being donated to the Manchester United Foundation.
Another bottle is set to given away as part of a Chivas competition to 'a fan who has passionately supported the club through every high and low.'
The other two bottles will be placed on display, with one taking pride of place in the Manchester United Museum until the end of the season when it will be sold privately, while the other will remain at Strathisla distillery in Speyside, Scotland.
United won their first of three European Cups in May 1968 when they thrashed Eusebio's Benfica 4-1 after extra time in the final at Wembley.
Captain Bobby Charlton netted twice for the Red Devils, while fellow club icon George Best and Brian Kidd were also on the scoresheet in front of 92,225 fans.

the lion is sleeping baby when it wakes ur blu army are its toasy
Ya sack mourinho now..then sign zidane and with players like bogba he will also be sacked on his second or third season..keep continue like that. bogba is sh**t who ever the coach is. what happened to liverpool twenty years ago is already happening to man utd...from now on utd is an average team that will play at most for fourth place. we no longer care abt utd. we only care abt chelsea and liveepool. that's the fact kid.

I wish United will turn their form around to match this significant celebration.
