UNITED IN SWEDEN
Our hyperlinks with the Scandinavian nation return a long time, to a Festivals Cup assembly with Djurgarden in 1964. Our different aggressive clashes with a Swedish staff got here 30 years later, when IFK Gothenburg have been a Champions League group-stage opponent.
Jesper Blomqvist, a formidable member of that Gothenburg aspect, turned our first Swedish participant in 1998 and 5 of his compatriots have since adopted, together with national-team captains Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrik Larsson and Victor Lindelof.
Ibrahimovic made his first United look once we performed Galatasaray in Gothenburg in 2016, 4 years after we’d confronted Barcelona in Sweden’s second metropolis.
The venue for this sport – the Strawberry Enviornment – hosted the Europa League remaining in 2017, once we beat Ajax 2-0.
