Man Utd legend Charlton: Sir Alex wants to repeat Sir Matt feat winning Champions League at Wembley

Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton says Sir Alex Ferguson would love to win the Champions League at Wembley this season.

Charlton can see Ferguson emulating the feat of Sir Matt Busby in 1968.

He told the Mail on Sunday: "It won't have escaped Sir Alex Ferguson's notice that this season's Champions League final is at Wembley and, while I daren't dream of a repeat of 1968, wouldn't it be marvellous to see Sir Alex get his team there for the final and try to emulate Matt?

"The one area where Sir Alex feels United have underachieved as a club is in the European Cup - three wins in our history is perhaps not enough given our size. It would be some occasion to make it four this season.

"The draw for the group stages on Thursday presents us with a difficult task but not an impossible one, so let's give it a real go."
