Man Utd Marched On

It's the first time Man Utd beating AC Milan at their own turf, and it's a more sweeter one for Man Utd as they avenge their last 2 defeats to the same opponent during 2005 and 2007 campaigns.

I think Man Utd is lucky to have taken the victory at San Siro because they should be 2 or 3 goals down within the first 20 minutes, but thank to their reliable and ever trusted goalie, Edwin Van Der Saar, and the inability of Ronaldinho and co to put away chances presented to them.

In 3 weeks time, AC Milan will be looking to strengthen their squad, and be more clinical in front of goal especially when chances are presented to them. Another person worth mentioned is David Beckham. It's the first time he played against his mentor after leaving Old Trafford some yrs ago, and it's quite a dissapointing performance by the Englishman.

Whether it's due to the efficiency of former teammates, or he's getting aging, we have no doubt it's one of the best away performance from Man Utd and with them on current form, I can forsee Man Utd to again qualify for the Champions' League final this year.
