Manchester United 3-2 AC Milan

Share


Ronaldinho gave Milan a dream start but Paul Scholes hit a fortunate equaliser (36) and Wayne Rooney added two more before Clarence Seedorf left the tie in the balance.
Darren Fletcher's cross evaded Scholes' air shot, hit his standing leg and rolled in off the post – not pretty, but enough to help end a run of four defeats at San Siro.
Daniele Bonera recently returned after eight months out injured, but there was no rustiness in two exquisite first-half tackles to halt attacks from Ji-Sung Park and Rooney.
Rooney looked set for an unusually frustrating night as Thiago Silva kept him subdued throughout the first half – but the striker can only be keep quiet for so long.
Four times a European champion, Seedorf has always had fine timing and showed it again with time running out, applying an exquisite flick to Ronaldinho's centre.
Milan's hopes rest on becoming only the second team to win at Old Trafford in 25 games in this competition on 10 March. They did it last time, prevailing 1-0 in 2004/05.
