BREAKING MANCHESTER
UNITED TEAM NEWS Wayne Rooney drops to the
bench as Ryan Giggs makes
his 1000th senior competitive
appearance, Nani starts as
another of the six changes
from the weekend.

All eyes, however, are on £80 million man
Cristiano Ronaldo who is back
at Old Trafford for the first
time since he left in 2009.

Referee: Cuneyt Cakir (Turkey)

Welcome, for the nice commentary job, looking forward to watch the live commentary of Man utd vs Real Madrid here.  

5 mins - Ronaldo's free kick hits
the wall, to cheers from the
home crowd. Now an errant
touch hands United a throw in.
Wonder if that huge ovation will
have affected him?
4 mins - Giggs upends Coentrao
with a sliding tackle. Free kick
left side of the area for Real.
3 mins - It was an ironic boo -
his name was greeted with
stupendous noise as the teams were read out. Evra tries to
look for Nani over the top but
Lopez is out to collect.
2 mins - Ronaldo's first touch is
booed, perhaps predictably.
Giggs sticking close to him in the early stages.
1 mins -KICK OFF 0 mins - The teams file into the
tunnel and emerge to a
predictably loud roar. Here we
go. Buckle up people.
0 mins - Mourinho has a decent
record against Manchester United but lost on his last visit
to Old Trafford, with Inter Milan
in 2009. Jose' record is in full,
won two, drawn two and lost
two.

8 mins - As Real regroup Alonso
fires the ball to Ozil unmarked at
the back post but his half
hearted attempt to keep the ball
in was never going to work.
7 mins - Ozil swings the ball wide left to Di Maria, who took his time
to cross when he should have
centred it sooner. Corner is the
result, cleared at the near post
by RVP.

11 mins - First big chance of the
game as Di Maria and Ozil work
well to feed Higuain, who manages
to fashion a shooting chance but
fires wide of the post when he
should have hit the target. 10 mins - Cleverley goes down
under a challenge from Ronaldo
and signals to the bench straight
away. No blame attached to
Ronaldo. Cleverley is up and
hobbling. Why do players do that?

12 mins - It's all Real Madrid so
far. United playing like the away
side.

16 mins - That cross from Giggs
was pretty sexy. Life begins at
39.
15 mins - Better from the home
side as Welbeck gets away, he
pulls it back from Giggs who picks out RVP with a glorious outside of
the boot cross and the striker's
volley is hacked behind by Ramos.

18 mins - Lovely one-two
between Welbeck and Nani as the
Portuguese wins a corner.
17 mins - Welbeck has definitely
been told to drop onto Alonso,
that means Khedira is getting far more of the ball.

20 mins - Superb work from Giggs
who shields the ball from
Coentrao, then tries to beat him,
then wins a corner. Brilliant.
19 mins - A card for Evra as he brings down Di Maria when
Real looked to break from
United's corner.

21 mins - Incredible! Vidic's header
cannons off the post, Welbeck
instinctively knocks it back on
goal from five yards and the ball
lodges between Lopez's legs, right
on the goalline, before he gets two hands on it. What an escape!

24 mins - A poor ball from Arbeloa
to Khedira, Evra shields it and is
fouled for his trouble.
23 mins - Ronaldo's impact has
been limited - his latest cross is
cleared cleverly by Cleverley.
