Manchester United came into this match with a booked ticket for the knockout stages of the Champions League and everyone expected some young players to start in this match but that was not the case.

Maccabi Haifa before this match showed that they were capable of an upset as they also beat Olympiakos 3-0 before this, but beating the Red Devils was an achievement in itself. It was thumping win for a club like Maccabi Haifa and one they would cherish for a long time.

The hosts put in a performance to remember as they stroked 3 past Manchester United and a certain striker named Yakubu was among the goalscorers and among the top performers on the day.
