United played Benfica tonight in the Champions League match. The match finished 2-1 to United with goals from Giggs and Van Nistelrooy.
Giggs goal was a freekick and took a pretty big deflection. He deserved the goal though and was one of the best players. It was great to see Giggs playing. The full backs also did very well (Richardson and Bardsley). Our defence is missing two crucial players (Neville and Heinze) but its good to see that the backup is doing a decent job.
Ronaldo had a slow-ish first half but really did improve in the 2nd half. It will be good if we play with 2 wide players again in the future now that Giggs is fit (he had a chest infection for 3 weeks). We will get Rooney back in the next league match – unfortunately we he will miss the next Champions League game (which I think is against Lyon at Old Trafford).
