Local hero Howson said: "I remember when we played Valencia in the Champions League semis seven years ago. I wasn't there because I was only young, but I watched it on TV.

"Those were great nights, but in its own way, it's just as important as any of those wins."

Howson was only 12 when United got past Barcelona, Real Madrid and AC Milan on the way to semi-finals of the Champions League in 2001.
