Manchester United has reached the European Cup/Champions League final five times, losing twice. They advanced to the competition's finals in 1968, 1999, 2008, 2009, and 2011. They won the competition the first three times they reached the finals, losing only to Barcelona in 2009 and 2011.
United won their last two games by a combined score of 15-1. What is strange about those two matches is that they were both on penalties.
The first game was held at Old Trafford on May 25, 2008. Henrik Larsson scored the only penalty taken during the match as United beat Chelsea 1-0. The second game was also at Old Trafford one year later on May 24, 2009. This time it was Rafael who saved the day for United as he stopped Vladimir Jugovic from scoring his penalty kick. It was the last game played at the stadium before it was rebuilt. United lost 1-4 to an outstanding performance from Milan Baroš.
They have not lost since they came back from down 3-1 against Chelsea to win 4-3 on aggregate. Sir Alex Ferguson retired after this victory. He had led United to seven European trophies in eight seasons.
Now managed by David Moyes, United are back in the competition for the third season running. They started very well by winning the Premier League title last season for the tenth time.

Final of the Europa League Manchester United will go four years without a trophy after losing the Europa League final on penalties against Villarreal. The Red Devils were knocked out by their Spanish opponents on an extremely harsh night at Old Trafford.
They will be hoping to improve on this record in Portugal next week. The last time they won any silverware was in 2012 when Sir Alex Ferguson's team defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the FA Cup final. Since then, Louis van Gaal has failed to bring any success to Man United. This season they finished second behind City in the Premier League.
They also lost in the Champions League quarterfinals this year to Barcelona. With these failures, it can be said with certainty that United's trophy cabinet is completely empty now. However, there is still hope that Jose Mourinho can change this statistic.

He has won every single title possible with three different clubs - Porto, Chelsea and Manchester United. He is one of the most successful managers in world football and he will be hoping to continue his good work at Man United.
