City claim a deserved win, which was easier than the score suggests. United rarely threatened with clear cut chances and lose their unbeaten home record this season. Perhaps the occasion got the better of them, or is that just an excuse? City get the double over United for the first time since 1970.
Carrick bends a beauty into the bottom corner of the game, giving his claim as to why he should have started the game. Is it too little, too late? Are United to “Bayern-it” on the special Munich day?
After a mad scramble in the box Vassell slots home left-footed from close range at the second attempt to open the scoring. The chance came about after a brilliant through ball by Petrov and run by Ireland.
Petrov again the man at the centre of things - his whipped in cross is glanced home, thanks to Benjani’s shoulder - for a crucial debut goal! It’s the last noticable action of an enthralling first half. Who’d have predicted this score? It’s not as if United have been shell-shocked by the occasion because they’ve played decently too. City have just taken their chances.

Martin Skrtel signs a four-and-a-half-year deal at Liverpool.
Man U hunt Huntelaar.

Slovakia international Martin Skrtel could be signed in time to join Liverpool for the visit to Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Juventus are ready to meet a late challenge from Inter head on in the race for the signature of Liverpool midfielder Momo Sissoko. Juventus have already opened the lines of communication and for the first time on Monday, coach Claudio Ranieri openly admitted an interest in the player, who is being dubbed in some circles as the “new Patrick Vieira”.
Bolton have rebuffed Chelsea’s undisclosed offer for striker Nicolas Anelka. Former Arsenal striker Anelka signed a new four-year contract earlier this season but his superb form has seen him strongly linked with to a move to a bigger club. Valued at about $10million, only last week he revealed to a French newspaper that Bolton and Chelsea were in a dialogue about a possible move.
Drogba has been linked with some of the continent’s biggest clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid and European champions AC Milan - clubs also reported to be interested in Mourinho.
]]>Martin Skrtel is set for a January move to Anfield for 6M. The highly-rated central defender currently plays for Russian champions Zenit St Petersburg.
As Hyypia is reaching his final years and unexperienced Hobbs and also injured Agger. Only Carra is fit and ready to defence.
