Very strange game. United started sloppy and could have been down by three before Scholes shanked one in off his back leg. Two goals by Rooney in a 30 minute period dominated by United, only to make things tough with a late Seedorf goal and a Carrick red for kicking the ball away.

Still 3-2 away in Milan is a win and sets things up for a good game in three weeks time back at Old Trafford. United just have to start brighter and avoid the early Milan goal which would throw this tie up in the air.
