they used to be Red Star Belgrade but have since changed their name.. I have a copy of the team sheet from when Man U played them in 58 and that has Crvena Zvezda written on then so it seems they were always known as that just we called them something different.

also this is from the UEFA rule book
At the request of the national association concerned, the UEFA Champions
League title-holders may be entered for this competition, as an additional
representative of that association, if they have not qualified for the UEFA
Champions League via the top domestic league championship. If, in such a
case, the title-holders come from an association entitled to enter four teams
for the UEFA Champions League, the fourth-placed club in the top domestic
league championship has to be entered for the UEFA Cup.
