United played AC Milan last night and easily won 4-0 (7-2 on aggregate). In the end it was pretty easy as Milan were very poor. Arguably it could have been different if Ronaldinho scored with a header early on but Rooney scored after 13 minutes and that more or less settled the tie.
After Rooney scored, there wasnt too much from United in the 1st half. However, the 2nd half was a great performance. Another goal by Rooney from a brilliant pass from Nani, a goal by Park after great work by Scholes and Fletcher scored near the end.
As I said, Milan were pretty rubbish. There front 3 just didnt track back for a start. No one came out with credit – no idea how Huntelaar is so highly rated – the only one you could possibly say did alright was maybe Seedoof who came on at half time and Beckham did well. Put in a few trademark brilliant crosses and one brillant volley from about 25 yards out. He connected with the ball so well, probably too well and it was more or less straight at Van Der Saar.
Beckham, as expected, got a great response from the United fans he loves and who love him. When he came out with about 25 minutes to go it looked quite emotional. He was cheered and clapped on the pitch but then when he got the ball the United fans booed him. All a bit of fun and he knows we love him. Hes a legend!! Not only was he one of the best players ever to play for United, he has said great things about United, the fans, the managers since leaving. He will always be a United fan. Even during the match, with his current team losing 3-0 he was still shown smiling. In a post match interview he said about the fans and United:
“It was an unbelievable reception I got, incredible, and I have to say thank you.
“If this is my last appearance at Old Trafford, I’ll take the memory of the fans away with me – they were incredible.
“Of course I now want United to go on and win it. They deserve it.”
After the final whistle, Becks clapped and applauded each side of the stadium. He walked towards the tunnel and grabbed one of the “anti-glazer” green and gold scarfs. 
He later on said he put the scarf on because it was the old colours of United and that he said thats all he knew:
“I’m a Manchester United fan. I saw the scarf there. I put it round my neck, it’s the old colours of United, that’s all I knew.
“To be honest it’s not my business. I support the club. I always have done and I always will do.
“It’s nothing to do with me the way everything is run, that’s to do with other people but I’m a United fan and I will always support them.
“Obviously you can hear it week in and week out. There’s always protests going on. Let’s hope it gets sorted out.”
Personally I think he knew exactly what the scarf was all about but being David Beckham he can’t say 100% what he think about the whole “anti-Glazer” protest.
Just briefly going back to the match, as well as Rooney played great (as usual). Park played excellently in possibly MOTM in my book. Nani played better than last few matches but not quite as good as his brilliant 3 game run (but it wasnt all same old Nani), Fletcher marshalled the midfield and it was good to have Rio and Vidic back playing in the same team and getting a clean sheet.
