Benfica vs Manchester United: How to watch Champions League football for free on TV and online live streaming

Manchester United are back in Champions League action on Wednesday night with a trip to Lisbon to face Benfica.

Jose Mourinho's Red Devils are second in the Premier League and sitting pretty in Group A, with two Champions League wins in a row putting them top of the pile.

Another European win would go a long way to sealing a place in the last-16 of the competition, but Portuguese champions Benfica will be desperate for a result as they sit bottom of the group with no points.

While United's last performance - a goalless draw at Anfield against Liverpool - may not necessarily tempt many into watching another 90 minutes of the Red Devils away from home, here's how you can see the match for free courtesy of BT Sport.
