Man United have locked horns with Fenerbahce on seven previous occasions, and both have posted three wins, with their first-ever clash taking place in the group stage of the Champions League back in October 1996.
The Red Devils were 2-0 winners on that occasion, with that success proving to be their only triumph in Turkey; David Beckham and Eric Cantona were on the scoresheet, while Fenerbahce had a certain Jay-Jay Okocha in their side.
The return match ended in a 1-0 victory for Fenerbahce, with the Turkish outfit securing a famous three points at Old Trafford courtesy of a late effort from Elvir Bolic.
The two sides then locked horns again in the group stage of the 2004-05 Champions League, and their clash on September 28 marked Wayne Rooney's debut, with the club's all-time leading goalscorer scoring a famous hat trick in a 6-2 victory for the Red Devils.
Fenerbahce won the reverse game 3-0 in Turkey, and that proved to be their last meeting in the Champions League, with their last three matches taking place in the Europa League.
Man United won 4-1 at Old Trafford in the group stage of the 2016-17 Europa League, with Paul Pogba netting twice, before losing the reverse game 2-1 in Turkey, with Moussa Sow and Jeremain Lens registering for the home side, before Rooney netted a late consolation for the 20-time English champions.
The two teams then locked horns in the league phase of the 2024-25 Europa League, and it finished 1-1 in Turkey, with Youssef En-Nesyri cancelling out an opener from Christian Eriksen in a match which saw Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho sent off.
