Vital Win @San Siro

AC Milan 2-3 United
4-3-3 is the name of the game when United travels in Europe Competition, especially facing an illustrious opposition like AC Milan. Ferdinand skippered our side and young Rafael keep his place in daunting prospect, containing Brazilian faded legend, Ronaldinho. The certain Mr Beckham will be in spotlight tonight.

United: Van Der Sar, Rafael, Ferdinand (C), Evans, Evra, Nani, Scholes, Carrick, Fletcher, Park, Rooney.


1st Half: United began the game nervously, Ronaldinho punished the visitor in 3rd minute. Milan raved in the next 15 minutes and they are unlucky not to get at least 2 goals more. Scholes, Carrick and Evans missed passes and could easily punish by the better finisher. The momentum swung to United's favour when the old Scholes got the equalizer. His standing leg cushioned Fletcher's drilling cross. The half ended 1-1.

2nd Half: The fair seem balanced and then Sir Alex half time speech starting taking effect. Valencia in for ineffective Nani. he took only 2 minutes before delivered a perfect cross for Rooney. Another precious away goal. United took full control and Valencia seem enjoying tormenting opposition full back. The possession fruiting another away goal. Fletcher was given time and space in the edge of Milan's box to delivered delicate cross for Rooney. The English center forward got his 25th of the season. Milan stole late 2nd goal and revitalized them to fins an equalizer. Carrick got the 2nd yellow for kicking ball away.

2-3 win in San Siro are more than i expected. The advantage are slim but it'll make the return leg at Old Trafford more comfortable to watch. Glory Glory Man Utd!
